The Centre of Architectural Studies — from Territory to Design (CEARQ-TD) is a research unit based at the Department of Architecture, University of Coimbra. It builds on the legacy of CEARQ, founded in 1994 as Portugal’s second architectural research centre, and broadens its focus to include architecture, territory, and design. Rooted in research by design and practice-based inquiry, CEARQ-TD defines a clear position within the national landscape. The centre actively connects architecture with design, geography, and the arts, and tackles contemporary spatial challenges through collaborative, project-led exploration.
