SPACE International Conference 2020 on Architectural Culture and Society

The 3rd International Conference on “Architectural Culture and Society” addresses all the aspects of cultural studies aiming to discuss cultural issues especially in terms of architecture from different perspectives and research areas. The meeting always attracts a substantial number of participants from all over the world. Thus, the Conference establishes an ideal platform to recent advances and research results in the fields of cultural studies, architecture, planning, urban design and all related areas such as education, interior architecture, technology, business, politics, social sciences and so forth. The scientific quality of the Conference provided by SPACE International Advisory Board and the variety of the topics are the most important reasons behind this success of the series.

Dr Sanaz Shobeiri

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Natural and Built Environment, Queen’s University Belfast

I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at School of Natural and Built Environment of Queen’s University Belfast, UK. Since the start of this research in September 2019, I have been working on “The role of age and gender in designing sustainable city centres – A comparative study of different-scale cities: Tehran and Belfast”. With a focus on design-based researches, I have been working in academia as well as in practice (industry) in various fields including the Landscape Urbanism, Urban Design, Urban Planning, Architecture and Graphic Design. In my research background, particularly since my PhD research, I have also been investigating the role of human-nature relationship in achieving socio-culturally sustainable cities. My PhD thesis (2011-2016) at School of Architecture and Built Environment of University of Westminster in London has mainly investigated “The Relationship between Human Beings and Nature in an Urban Context: Tehran and the Natural structures of Seven River-Valleys – A design and Planning case study”. In short, my research is mainly comprised of inclusive cities and city centres, age and gender indicators in city design, the role of human-nature relationship in design and planning, and integration of socio-cultural and environmental sustainability.
