Types of PhDs in Architecture?

There are architecture theses in the traditional sense of the architect’s profession as design projects, and there is a group of theses that covers a rather poetic theme or theoretical topics on architectural issues in the order of the immaterial. This last group is difficult to relate to a traditional career as an architect, that is, it would be limited to the publication of research and some advantages of being part of the university/academic field.

The more technical theses, let’s say construction, structures, materials, or those that address competencies that have not always been the property of the architect could have a greater application in the professional impulse. We are talking about topics such as urban mobility, manufacturing typologies, territorial economy, or whatever you decide.
