Core areas of inquiry include territorial and urban transformation; post-industrial and resource-affected territories; global–local entanglements driving urbanisation processes; more-than-human and multispecies spatialities; designed ecologies; energy transitions; housing; agroecology; hydrology; biodiversity and ecosystem processes; regenerative systems; and adaptive territorial infrastructures./nThe doctoral program adopts an inter- and transdisciplinary approach integrating architecture, landscape architecture, urban and territorial design, planning, urban theory and history, and the social sciences. The positions are based in Zurich, Switzerland.
