About EURAU
The eighth edition of the European Symposium on Research in Architecture and Urban Design will be held from the 28th to the 30th of September 2016 in Bucharest.
The seminar will take place at the “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urban Planning from Bucharest in collaboration with the institutions that organized the previous editions:
- École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Marseille, on doctoral research (2004);
- École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture et Paysage de Lille, on large scale (2005);
- Association des Instituts Supérieurs Brussels-Liège-Mons (IESA), on cultural heritage (2006);
- Escuela Superior de Arquitectura de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, under the theme cultural landscape (2008);
- Facoltà di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, under the theme venustas (2010);
- Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto, on public space and contemporary city (2012);
- Faculty of Architecture of the Istanbul Technical University, on composite cities (2014).
The project EURAU is constituted within a network of schools and researchers in Architecture and Urbanism, meeting every two years to share the status of their investigation. In the long-term, it is intended to lead to the creation of a physical meeting and deposit space with all the research undertaken and ongoing in Europe to facilitate the sharing of resources and deepening of knowledge in these scientific areas.
The main concern of the EURAU is to establish itself as a place of debate and discussion of thematic disciplines of Architecture, City and Town Planning.
The theme of EURAU 2016 is “In Between Scales.”

History
The EURAU project was initiated by the French Ministry of Culture, when, in 2004, it launched the proposal of an annual symposium for researchers dealing with Research in Architecture and Urbanism. The various editions were organized by different European schools of Architecture with a coordinated effort by a broad group of university professors and researchers.
The purpose of this initiative is to enable the confrontation between researchers concerned with the Architecture and the City on the European scene.
The acronym EURAU describes the congregation of the objectives which motivate these events: EU for “European Union”, R for “Research”, A for “Architecture” and U for “Urbanism”.
