Built Environments            PRAGUE

Research & Teaching Conference 

June 10-12, 2025

 

The Built Environments strand of the PRAGUE Research & Teaching Conference is open to all disciplines. It is interested in questions of design, planning, construction and sustainability as both a subject of academic research and as part and parcel of teaching practice.

Whether case studies examining the application of research in sustainability to architectural design or examinations of best practice teaching in sustainable urbanism, it sees these questions as central to the future of academic research and teaching. Including critiques of the effects of technology on community and neighbourhood planning as well as the first-hand documentation of design studios, it seeks to share knowledge on issues of teaching and researching across STEAM disciplines.


 

Themes

Other themes of interest at the conference include:

Teaching & Learning | Methods, modes of practice and innovations in both how we teach building technology and construction, and what we research in design and planning.
Art & Design | Case studies of collaboration between the art and design disciplines and professionals and educators in the built environment.
Humanities & Social Sciences | Examinations of innovative education and research on socio-cultural readings of our cities, architecture, landscapes and public spaces.
Science & Technology | Presentations on the smart city, AI, parametric architecture, VR in spatial design and big data analysis of cities.
Health & Wellbeing | Presentations on Covid-19, design for life, sick building syndrome, care in the community, healthy cities, sanitation and public health, and more.
