The Mathematics Department aims to create, transmit and apply knowledge in the field of Mathematics. The department's objective is to clearly and realistically promote the preponderant role of Mathematics in the development of Science and in the daily lives of all of us, considering it essential to obtain solid knowledge that enhances its use in solving concrete problems, namely in the development of new technologies, whether in a business context or in support of research.
The Department of Architecture and Urbanism at Iscte (DAU-Iscte) was created in 2007, following the establishment of the area of Architecture and Urbanism at Iscte in 1999 with the Degree in Architecture. The origin of the area of Architecture and Urbanism occurred with the creation of the Master's Degree in Urban Design in 1995, which operated for a few years in collaboration with the departments of Sociology, Anthropology and Economics.
Currently, the DAU is integrated into the Iscte School of Technologies and Architecture (ISTA) on a reference university campus located in the centre of Lisbon and designed in different phases by the architect Raúl Hestnes Ferreira.
DAU brings together several scientific areas such as: Architecture, Urbanism, Design, Theory and History of Architecture and Urbanism, Architectural Technologies and Geography and integrates a faculty of 20 professors and researchers with doctorates who, in addition to teaching activities, carry out research activities associated with the different Iscte Research Centers such as DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte (Study Center on Socioeconomic Change and the Territory), the ISTAR-IUL (Center for Research in Information Sciences, Technologies and Architecture), the CIES-Iscte (Center for Research and Studies in Sociology) and the CRIA-Iscte (Center for Research Network in Anthropology).
The area of Architecture has a digital production laboratory (Vitruvius FabLab) that uses technology and digital tools to promote new approaches to the creative processes inherent in the practice of architecture.
DAU's main teaching products are the Integrated Master's Degree in Architecture, which aims to create an intimate articulation between theoretical and practical training linked to professional practice, and the Doctorate in Architecture of Contemporary Metropolitan Territories, where the articulation of teaching and research is particularly evident.
Given the multidisciplinary nature of architecture and urbanism, the inclusion of DAU in Iscte, where social and economic sciences, technologies and management are considered areas of excellence in the national panorama, allows training and research in architecture and urbanism to be articulated with other disciplines, constituting an alternative to current training models in architecture and urbanism.
