Milwaukee Program
Established in 1982, the Ph.D. program in Architecture in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP) represents one of the few internationally recognized centers for producing high quality research and doctoral graduates in the study of the built environment. Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures is one of the three tracks within this doctoral program.
Doctoral education in architecture has undergone major changes in recent years. Emerging from the area silos of the nineties (Building Sciences, Architectural History, Environment Behavior etc.), new programs are restructuring themselves thematically to explore areas of knowledge with an interdisciplinary perspective. Most new doctoral programs that have emerged in the last five years have shifted their emphasis to focus on multifaceted and integrative areas within the built environment. In 2008 the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee moved from a singular focus on Environment Behavior to a multi-faceted program exploring three related but distinct tracks of architectural inquiry. The goal for the Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures track is to design a nimble program that could use existing resources and access hitherto untapped possibilities of resource sharing.
