archiDOCT 21 | Relevance I

Unlike introductions to other issues of our journal, and because this issue includes the first seven of our participants’ contributions to the conference on the relevance of doctoral studies in architecture, this introduction first discusses each paper’s key issues, methodologies deployed and contribution to knowledge. We are then looking at common themes, to finally conclude as to how the themes discussed and the research on architecture at doctoral level undertaken currently are of relevance to the contemporary world.
