8th DRESDEN INTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM
"Aesthetics in Architecture and Urban Design" June 2-4, 2016
8. internationales Dresdner Doktorandenkolloquium
" Architekturästhetik & Stadtraum“ vom 02.-04.06.2016
The 8th Dresden International Doctoral Colloquium
provides an opportunity for doctoral students from
various disciplines related to the field of architectural
aesthetics to exchange ideas about the current state
of their research and receive critical input from a
panel of professors and fellow students in their fields.
While issues of function, construction and technology
in architecture and urban design are established subjects
in teaching and research, the central core of
architecture and city design - form and space and its
effect - are rarely addressed in a systemic and scientific
manner. This colloquium is a forum for students
exploring topics ranging from broader theoretical
and methodological issues to the specifics of practical
applications in architecture and urban design. Doctoral
Students in the fields of philosophy, environmental
psychology, art history, architectural theory and
history, architectural composition and urban design
are invited to participate. There will also be an additional
special focus on color in architecture and city
design this year.
Regardless of the state of progress - from the beginnings
of an idea to nearly completed dissertations,
speakers will present the principal theme, a problem
description, the major issues and hypotheses, the
goals of the dissertation, the applied methodology
and further steps planned towards completion.
