Research profile

Research is central to the study of architecture within the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA). It motivates our intellectual and creative activities and underpins our collaborations with a range of important international and UK-based institutions.

We actively promote interdisciplinary approaches to research in architecture. Our expertise and interests range across the following areas:

Architectural Conservation

Our focus includes:

conservation theory and history
urban conservation
conservation technology
the challenges of bridging heritage and new architecture

Architectural History, Theory and Criticism

We have particular strength in:

the history of architecture in Britain and the British colonial world (18th and 19th centuries)
Germany, Central Europe and Russia
modernism in Europe, North America and Africa
Renaissance Italy
the history of landscape
the history of technology
the international history of mass housing and urban development
the theory and philosophy of architecture
the philosophy of place
critical inquiry and methodology

Training and support

Research supervisors

All of our research students benefit from ECA鈥檚 interdisciplinary approach and all are assigned two research supervisors. Your second supervisor may be from another discipline within ECA, or from somewhere else within the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences or elsewhere within the University, according to the expertise required. On occasion more than two supervisors will be assigned, particularly where the degree brings together multiple disciplines.
