EURAU 2012. Call for papers.

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”.

The sixth edition, to be held in 2012 in Porto, in the Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto, is structured in continuity with the previous editions, focusing the discussion on the theme "Contemporary Public Space and City".
