Aims\u00a0and direction<\/h1><\/div>In accordance with its Charter<\/strong>, <\/strong>the Foundation\u2019s aim is to support academic research and postgraduate studies in architecture, building technology, urban planning, housing and property management. This aim is to be furthered primarily through scholarships to researchers at Sweden\u2019s universities and institutes of technology.<\/p>\nWithin the scope of this aim, the Foundation has chosen to support postgraduate studies that cover the entire field of the BUILT ENVIRONMENT. From the scholarship year 2021, the foundation also supports postdocs who are active in the same field. Doctoral and postdoc projects may involve different parts of this value chain, such as planning, design, construction or use.<\/p>\n
Based on the projects granted scholarships since the beginning of the Foundation, nine recurring subject areas emerge.<\/p>\n
SUBJECT AREAS<\/p>\n
\n- Theory and history of architecture<\/li>\n
- Design and form<\/li>\n
- Building construction and materials<\/li>\n
- Basic engineering sciences<\/li>\n
- Structural design in civil engineering<\/li>\n
- Land, water and infrastructure<\/li>\n
- Greening of the built environment<\/li>\n
- Planning and urban design<\/li>\n
- Building and real estate economics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Many of these subject areas touch on each other and many projects could be included in more than one of these areas. Although taken together these areas could be seen as providing a rather comprehensive picture of the Foundation\u2019s aims and direction, according to its purpose, the Foundation ultimately covers all conceivable subject areas falling within the broader concept of the built environment.<\/p>\n
