The aim of the course is to introduce students with the field of the advanced creative research in domains of architecture and urbanism through identification, analysis, systematization, creative comparison and the regulation of architectural and artistic practices that are oriented towards space as a phenomenon. Through individual research students develop the ability to understand and apply creative processes in interpretations of architectural theoretical settings. Development of creative thinking and further application of these processes lead to evolution of students’ own creative interpretations of phenomena in domains of architecture and urbanism.

Ability to define a wider interdisciplinary framework necessary for the creation of an individual creative interpretation in domains of architecture and urbanism. The skill of understanding the existing creative interpretations in the field. Ability to define the basic research settings and to conduct their own creative research necessary for further work on the doctoral thesis.
