Dr. Nadia Charalambous

Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture at UCY. She has studied Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, University of London (BSc. in Architecture and Environmental Studies, M.Sc. in Advanced Architectural Studies, Diploma in Architecture) and completed her Ph.D. studies at the National Technical University in Athens. Research interests aim to address the inherently complex relationship between spatial configuration and social phenomena, both methodologically and theoretically. Past and planned research focuses on addressing issues of urban inclusion and accessibility to public space, evidence-based design and how these are channeled to a transdisciplinary architectural education.

She was the Project Coordinator of the Erasmus + KA2 project, “EPUM; Emerging Perspective on Urban Morphology: Researching and Learning through Multiple Practices”, 2017-2020. She is currently the Project Coordinator of the Erasmus+, “Knowledge Alliances for Evidence-Based Urban Practices Project”, 2021-2023 and of the Horizon Europe “Twinning Towards Research Excellence in Evidence-Based Urban Planning and Design”, 2023-2025.
