亲爱的建筑、规划、景观专业的博士生同学：

你们好！

继2016-2017年两届未来城市与建筑国际博士生院成功举办后，我院计划于2018年7月1日至7月13日举办第三届未来城市与建筑国际博士生院。本届国际博士生院在构架上由“研究方法工作营”和“学术报告”两部分组成。一方面，为博士研究生提供针对研究思路和研究方法的短期高强度训练，尤其是针对交叉学科或跨学科研究方法的训练；另一方面，广泛邀请国内外知名专家学者，通过各种形式的讲座和论坛，向学员传递建筑、规划、景观等方向学术研究的前沿动态和创新视野。

为了增进兄弟院校之间的友好合作关系，强化博士研究生的校际交流，我们向设有博士点的各大兄弟院校公开招募学员，大约20~30人。若有意参加，请在6月17日前将个人简历发至邮箱：adi-caup@tongji.edu.cn。参加国际博士生院学员的国内往返旅费及博士生院举行期间（7月1日—13日，总共13天）的住宿均由同济大学负担。衷心期待在同济大学建筑与城市规划学院见到各位未来的科研精英！

后附本次国际博士生院的简介与日程表（中英文）。如有任何疑问，请咨询同济大学建筑与城市规划学院学术发展部（电话：021-65982107）。

此致

敬礼！

李振宇

同济大学建筑与城市规划学院院长

 博士生院活动内容的简介：

1）研究方法工作营：

工作营主要训练的内容围绕论文选题、研究方法与研究计划的制定而展开，要求博士生学员在指导老师的带领和引导下，分四天访问与考察四类特定的上海城市空间：历史空间、垂直空间、滨水空间和郊区空间，并选取其中一类城市空间作为拟定的研究对象，寻找特定的研究问题，运用交叉学科的研究视角和研究方法，基于已有的研究文献，提出合理的研究计划，并假设可能的研究结论。

本次工作营的训练成果将有两次汇报与研讨的机会：

第一次是“中期汇报与讨论”，安排在四天的城市空间考察后，学员需要确定挑选的城市空间类型，提出可能的研究方向，与负责该类城市空间的导师讨论，初步确定研究问题和研究框架；第二次是整个国际博士生院最后一天的“最终成果汇报”，学员在经过两天的分组讨论和集体工作后，将以PPT的形式在限定的时间内向特邀评委汇报最终的研究方案。

2）学术报告

博士生院安排了“矶崎新系列讲座”、“研究方法讲座”、“上海城市空间研究讲座”，“数字化未来国际学术会议”以及“可持续垂直城市主义论坛”、“建筑前沿论坛”、“规划前沿论坛”和“景观前沿论坛”等多场学术报告，为学员准备了丰盛的学术盛筵。

The 2018 International Doctoral School of Future City and Architecture

 Introduction

The International Doctoral School of Future City and Architecture, organized by CAUP of Tongji University, is going to be held on July 1--July 13, 2018. It is composed of two parts, a workshop focusing on research proposal and method training, and a lecture series introducing research frontiers.

1) Workshop on research proposal and research method training

This workshop will offer the PhD. students intensified training on how to develop thesis proposals, using proper research methods and making clear and feasible research plans.  The participants, divided into groups led by tutors, will visit and investigate four types of specific Shanghai urban spaces (Historical Space, Vertical Space, Waterfront Space and Suburban Space) one by one within four days, and will be required to select one type of urban space as presumed research object for extended study. Each group of students will collaborate to search for the reasonable research questions, applying interdisciplinary perspectives and methods, preparing the literature review, and proposing a systematic research plan as well as drawing a possible research conclusion.

The participants will have two opportunities to present their research.

The first is the mid-term presentation in the afternoon of July 10. Each group shall confirm their research object, proposing the possible research directions, and developing the proposal with the aid of tutors, thus initially framing the research question and structure. The second is the final presentation on July 13th, at the end of the whole program. The participants will be required to present the whole package of the research proposal in a PPT format to the Jury within a limited period of time. Those groups with best performance will get certain awards.

2) Forum and lectures

The International Doctoral School will provide various forms of lectures for the participants. 

“Lectures on Research Method” and “Lectures on Shanghai Urban Space” are two parts closely related to the workshop, providing the participants methodological training from interdisciplinary perspective, as well as the basic knowledge on the city of Shanghai.

“The lecture series by Arata Isozaki” is a great opportunity for students to comprehensively understand the broad academic vision of this important Japanese modern master on architectural and urban issues.

The “DigitalFUTURES Conference”, and “Sustainable Vertical City Forum” are supposed to provide cutting-edge thinking and discussion on the specific issues of digitalization and sustainability with sensitive inquiry into the future lifestyle of human being. The latter is co-organized by CAUP of Tongji University and CTBUH.

The other three forums, “Frontier of Architecture”, “Frontier of Urban Planning”, “Frontier of Landscape Architecture” are chaired by three departments of CAUP, to present the frontier researches or tendencies of ideas in each discipline. 

In total, the program is supposed to contain almost thirty lectures, an academic feast awaiting the PhD candidates to participate in.
