About FTH

Courses at the Department of Form, Theory and History draw on current research projects, with a focus on Norwegian architectural history/historiography, design history, transformation of historical structures, contemporary architecture, as well as museums and architectural exhibitions. This research is reflected in the Master Diplomas and Doctoral Dissertations produced by students within the department. The staff includes historians and practicing architects, and counts 25 people, including PhD candidates and part time teachers. 

Head of department is Professor Mari Lending

The Oslo Center for Critical Architectural Studies (OCCAS) is part of the department (see occas.aho.no).
