ABSTRACT

This paper presents the analytical framework used to conduct a survey of PhD theses in Design completed between 2008 and 2019 (n=106) at the Lisbon School of Architecture. The framework is described in how it relates to the broader research project started in the REDES research group. Each PhD thesis is detailed according to four main levels of analysis: research identification, territory, processes, and results. The framework produces detailed results concerning the research reported in each thesis manuscript and the aggregate of the individual analysis allows the production of meta-data about the research conducted in the PhD course.
