Admission to doctorate program Prof. Greg Lynn
Agenda
The agenda for the new program of a PhD in Architectural Design
supervised by Greg Lynn at the angewandte is to focus and deepen the
emerging pedagogies of architects who wish to continue their education
in order to prepare for teaching architectural design at some point in
their future. It is our assumption, based on past and recent
history, that influential architects combine teaching with practice
throughout their entire careers.
The PhD program in our course at
the angewandte is designed to help prepare designers with a clear,
focused pedagogy that is projective into the future while being
connected to architectural history, theory and design techniques.
We are looking for individuals that exhibit a combination of design
talent, a mastery of contemporary design techniques, and an ability to
clearly articulate design questions provocatively.
A proclivity
for contemporary design in the fullest sense is a benefit as the
context of the University allows for connections with fashion,
graphic, industrial and other design fields.
A keen awareness of
architectural design speculation and theory of the last 20 years
combined with design aptitude are the two qualifications we are looking
for in applicants. The ability to situate your proposals in the
lineage of other pedagogies of the last 50 years is encouraged.
Application requirements:
Applicants should outline a proposal for their dissertation that includes:
- An abstract of up to 1000 words describing an architectural thesis and a program for research.
- Examples of historical and/or contemporary architecture and design that will illuminate this thesis.
- A description of any bibliographical, technical, archival or other materials that may be related to the dissertation research.
Applicants should also include:
- Samples of their design work.
- Written paper of up to 2000 words.
- Letters of recommendation from previous professors, employers or colleagues.
