The Casa da Arquitetura is launching a call for applications for 10 PhD research grants in the fields of architecture, urban planning and spatial planning, with a particular focus on the Casa da Arquitetura’s archives, estates and collections, as well as content relating to the history of architecture, construction technology, sustainability and energy efficiency.
