The Ph.D. in Architecture has been created to develop architectural knowledge and combine it with cultural criteria and contemplation in the fields of architecture bordering on architecture. With a brief look at our surroundings, we can see that the architecture of our country is suffering from a complex disease, the most critical complication of which is the degradation of quality and anonymity. To fight against this disease, actions must be taken in various ways, among which the share of architecture schools is crucial. The country’s architecture should be a place for cultivating and growing its values. To promote architectural scholars, it is necessary to expand and deepen architectural knowledge and refine them with the filter of one’s own culture. The spread of knowledge requires a spiritual journey and crossing the boundaries of other sciences, and choosing the appropriate architectural path from this spiritual journey. The first written document of architecture written in the first century AD is a valid proof of the vastness of the common border of architecture with other fields of science. This field borders four vast architectures on the one hand with natural sciences and on the other hand with theoretical sciences. It is evident that in the meantime, crossing the border of experimental/human sciences and exploring in that field has always been a source of origin for architects and has been very attractive. The mission of the Ph.D. in Architecture course is to train people who are influential in meeting the needs of the country and expanding the frontiers of knowledge through innovation in various fields of science and technology. This field is the design and construction of space and internal and external dimensions of all buildings and structures that we see around us. This field of engineering, mixed with art, is one of the necessary specialties for a society.
Ph.D. in Architecture
The doctoral program in architecture has three main orientations: architecture, Islamic architecture, and architectural landscape. In the following, we will briefly explain each trend separately.
Ph.D. in Architecture – Architecture
This tendency tries to have a landscape in harmony with its surroundings and its type of use.
Ph.D. in Architecture – Islamic Architecture
According to the principles and laws of architecture, the trend of Islamic architecture examines the theories and methods of designing Islamic architecture, the history of Islamic and Iranian architecture, and the evolution of religious and Islamic architecture. The approach of Islamic architecture is the analysis, design, construction of residential buildings according to the views of Islamic architecture. Therefore, the labor market of Ph.D. in Islamic architecture in Iran can be favorable, and Islamic-oriented architects can be attracted to the labor market due to the existence of work fields appropriate to their area.
Ph.D. in Architecture – Architectural Perspective
Architectural landscape tends to organize the land, buildings, and outdoor spaces by understanding the three axes, the position of the environment and nature, its relationship with humans, and paying attention to artistic aesthetics. Due to the expansion of Iranian cities and the need for design in open spaces of the city and suburbs, such as parks and gardens and yards of large and small complexes and the like, it is necessary to train specialized designers to be aware of the capabilities of Iran’s natural resources and the importance of preserving the environment by using related sciences to organize this effort.
Fields allowed to participate in the Ph.D. in Architecture exam
Areas in which graduates can participate in the Ph.D. in Architecture include Architecture (all majors and majors), Architectural Technology (bionic and digital majors), Architectural Technology. This information is according to the doctoral entrance examination registration book.
Chart and title of Ph.D. courses in architecture
In this course, researchers complete the doctoral course in architecture with a minimum of 14 credits or a maximum of 18 credits of postgraduate studies in the relevant field with the supervisor’s opinion and the group’s approval, and within the maximum time allowed. Course units are selected to master the new concepts of each field and strengthen the student’s scientific ability to conduct research about their dissertation based on the approved curriculum of each field. The number of dissertation units in the research stage is 18 to 22 units, and the total number of student education and research units in the doctoral course is 36 units.
Ph.D.
In the current era, the job market of Ph.D. in Architecture, where the importance of designing different parts of a city and place and the logical and artistic appropriateness of its various designs is significant and promising. Graduates of this field have many job opportunities and can have the job of their choice. This trend has several areas of activity that depend on the person’s expertise and skills and will be able to work in that area. These areas can include construction project management, design, consulting in the design and construction of various buildings and structures, supervising engineers in the implementation of construction designers, specializing in technical offices of engineering, improvement, and renovation of worn facilities, expert of the Ministry of Road Construction, Housing, cultural heritage, and tourism organization, etc., and the income level of a doctor of architecture will vary depending on the type of work in which he works.
