EXTENSION COURSE "ARCHITECTURE, SUBJECTIVITY AND CULTURE – EXPLORING AMBIENCES THROUGH SUBJECTIVITY" 9th EDITION – 2025 / PROARQ

Professors Ethel Pinheiro and Cristiane Duarte (PROARQ/UFRJ) will deliver ten sessions focused on the discussion, development, and application of concepts and methodologies related to qualitative research in Architecture and Urbanism.

Based on the themes explored in the book Experiência do Lugar Arquitetônico ("Experience of the Architectural Place"), the course will feature seven guest researchers from across Brazil, each an expert in their respective field. Activities will include lectures, workshops, and debates.

The course is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students at UFRJ but is also open to external participants, including students from other institutions and professionals in the field.

The main goal is to strengthen the intellectual foundations needed to apply qualitative knowledge in both research and professional practice, with particular emphasis on preparing students for graduate-level studies.
