The PhD Program in Architecture and City Sciences (EDAR) at EPFL is an interdisciplinary doctoral program that combines architecture with social sciences related to inhabited spaces. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinarity and dialogue between basic and applied research. With a focus on urban sociology, geography, environmental economics, and spatial planning, the program encourages doctoral candidates to explore the complexities of urban environments and societal interactions. Through close collaboration with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering, EDAR provides a platform for research in various areas such as urban demography, timber constructions, sustainable technologies, urban economics, and urban sociology. The program aims to equip doctoral students with the necessary tools to address theoretical and practical challenges in architecture, urbanism, and spatial development.
