International Symposium
Umeå School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioners 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, linked to the tradition of studies, cultures, climatic and contextual conditions.
Emphasising the importance of understanding architectural research as a practice situated across multiple contexts, disciplines, and cultural points of view EURAU26 LATITUDES encourages a research approach that is rigorous yet attentive to the diversity of perspectives that shape the world we inhabit.
In this sense, what becomes crucial is not only the specific point of view but also the encounter between networks of researchers, educators, and schools of architecture involved. EURAU26 LATITUDES sets itself this goal: to provide a necessary moment for broadening the outlook on architectural research in relation to context.
EURAU European Research in Architecture and Urbanism is a network of schools and researchers in the field, which meets biannually in a symposium to share their investigations.

This conference is conceived as a space for dialogue, critical reflection, and resistance against injustice.
We, the international community of EURAU26, stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are facing ongoing violence, destruction, and loss of life. Attacks on civilians, homes, and universities constitute grave violations of human rights and must be condemned. We also recognize and express solidarity with other populations around the world currently suffering the impacts of war and conflict. We support students, scholars, and communities, and affirm our commitment to justice, dignity, and academic freedom. We call for an immediate end to the violence and the protection of all civilians.
