Conference Symposium Routes of Architecture and Urbanism – Vienna 2026
An event promoted by the Department of Architecture and Urbanism in connection with the organization of the DAU Vienna 2026 Routes
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
Complementary event associated with the organization of the DAU Vienna 2026 Routes, within the scope of the research project DEAR – Drawing, Education, Architecture | R&D Draw, Education, Architecture.
It aims to extend the scientific and pedagogical experience to the Department of Architecture and Urbanism, including students and lecturers who are not participating in the Route but may still benefit from the knowledge developed through the implementation of this practice.
In this context, it constitutes a scientific format focused on the in-depth discussion of a single theme (Vienna), bringing together researchers/lecturers to share specific knowledge, present new perspectives, debate and promote the advancement of research in a formal and short-duration environment.
