"This book, CARTOGRAPHY OF DOCTORAL RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE IDA Conference Observatory (Spain), created by the University Institute of Architecture and Construction Sciences (IUACC) of the University of Seville, presents the data and statistics supplied by the doctoral programs related to Architecture that participated in the first International Congress on architecture Doctorates, IDA_Seville, held in November 2017. The conclusions of the working groups of the conference inspired the objective of mapping the current situation of doctoral research in Spain, by taking a tour of the doctoral programs from the year of implementation of RD 99/2011 until the end of the 2016-17 academic year. Its purpose involves being periodically updated, through the collection of the evolution of the programs, to form an observatory of doctoral research in Architecture. In the book, the size, evolution, location, agreements, research lines, and areas of knowledge of the different doctoral programs that have collaborated in this work are presented in visual form: a total of 23 programs linked to 14 Spanish universities. The figures and proportions relating to the teaching staff and students, the interdisciplinarity, internationalization, and to the recent implementation of the industrial doctorate are all analysed. This is the first study on the status of doctoral research in Spain, and provides a refreshing overview that is open to future contributions"--page 4 of cover.
