Umeå School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioner to contribute to the EURAU 26 Symposium on the theme LATITUDES. Situated reflections on architectural research.
Research in Architecture can be conceived as a situated practice, linking to tradition of studies, cultures, climatic and contextual conditions. LATITUDES aims at investigating the field of architecture as a research discipline across cultures, territories and places.
Emphasizing the importance of understanding architectural research as a practice situated across multiple contexts, disciplines, and cultural viewpoints and by acknowledging these relational frameworks, LATITUDES encourages researchers with an approach rigorous in measurement yet attentive to the diversity of perspectives that shape the world we inhabit.
EURAU European Research on Architecture and Urbanism is a network of schools and researchers in the field, which meets biannually in a symposium to share their investigations.
EURAU's main concern is to establish a platform of debate and discussion of contemporary discourses in Architecture and Urbanism. The 2026 conference will be held at Umeå School of Architecture and has the aim to collect reflections and experiences to promote an active engagement of the universities involved to investigate future possibilities of our field of study.
The call for paper and a deeper understanding of the theme will be shared soon on Umeå School of Architecture's website.
