The PhD in ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY was activated in the 29th cycle, AY 2013/14, with the unification of the two doctorates of the former DATA Department, now PDTA, active in the previous 28th cycle (PhD in Territorial and Urban Planning, PhD in Environmental Design). It pursues scientific and educational objectives common to the three curricula into which it is divided (1. Territorial, urban and landscape planning; 2. Technological-environmental planning; 3. Design) aimed at integrating disciplinary contributions, identifying transversal research areas, offering a training plan divided into training activities, cultural initiatives, supervision of theses, evaluation procedures, recognizing, from time to time, the disciplinary prevalence useful for carrying out highly qualified research activities with public and private entities. The Doctorate is aimed at the development of activities of a theoretical-methodological and experimental level, of a disciplinary and interdisciplinary nature, and of an international dimension; provides for the participation of doctoral students in conferences, seminars and workshops, in Italy and abroad; stimulates the scientific production of specialist essays, articles and proceedings, according to the criteria and evaluation parameters of the national scientific community. It is oriented towards the formation of profiles with high critical skills, theoretical and applied research with skills in: - interscalar interpretation and evaluation of the dynamics of physical-functional transformation of the city, the territory, the landscape, the architecture; - the definition, based on interdisciplinary cooperation, of design methods in the various declinations and at the various scales of the project and the related evaluation criteria; - the principles, rules, methods, tools, implementation mechanisms and practices, in the field of territorial planning, urban and urban planning and design, of the landscape and the environment; aimed at implementing integrated and interscalar strategies of urban and territorial rebalancing and regeneration, to create the public city, a new urban welfare, perspectives for ecological and landscape quality, protection from risks, social inclusion, development socioeconomic; effectiveness in the governance of the city, territories and contemporary habitats; - the definition of new project articulations for the construction of physical-spatial-material structures, eco-efficient products, for technological innovation and environmental quality; - the criteria for the design of the urban environment, the architectural space, the design product and their technological characteristics as open systems, which merge the basis of a systemic approach to the development and design of low-impact products in the concept of eco-efficiency ecological, for energy efficiency, bioclimatic comfort and environmental quality.
