Savia Palate is a lecturer in History and Theory of Architecture at the University of Cyprus.

 

She holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of Cambridge as a Cambridge Trust Scholar (Vice-Chancellor Award). During that time she has also been a doctoral resident at the Canadian Centre of Architecture and an A. G Leventis Foundation Scholar. She holds an MA in History and Critical Thinking from the Architectural Association School of London with Distinction, and an MArch II in Space, Society, and Culture from the Pennsylvania State University as a Fulbright Scholar.

Her research endeavours focus on the production of critical histories of architecture as these may be written and transmitted by agents and methodologies within and beyond the disciplinary boundaries of architecture.

Her pedagogical endeavours embrace a design-by-words approach, teaching various courses on history, theory, and critical thinking in architecture. 

She has recently completed U-SHer (Uneasy but Shared Heritage: Modern Hotel Architecture on a Divided Island) as the project's leading investigator. The project explores the role of architectural history in contributing to the intangible value of modern architecture as heritage that can be shared in conflict territories. It involves the development of an interactive "guide" of modern architecture in Cyprus as a digital "archive that listens" through crowdsourcing. The project was part of the Excellence Hubs programme (research grant to a young researcher - Social Sciences category), co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation.
