The first of these processes, The Architecture for the Society of Knowledge program (ASK) has existed since 2008. The second began a little more than a year ago in the format of a new PhD studies pilot-project part of ASK at the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology. ASK was created as a new graduate program with a global perspective. In time, it has resulted in the creation of a center not only for educators, but also for researchers dedicated to the use of digital technology in the built space. The ASK program covers work in an array of fields: the theoretical basis of creativity, changes in culture (especially the digital revolution), architectural workshop tools used in the field of analysis and creation, interdisciplinary projects based on the use of BIM models, spatial experimentation, reactive, interactive and robotic installations, heritage protection and the analysis of historical objects based on digital tools implementation, simulation and optimization aimed at protecting environmentally sensitive sites. A group of researchers within the ASK program have increasingly focused their attention on the understanding and application of experimental methods in architectural and spatial research. Due to the size, cost and timeframe of its works, architecture never undertook testing in line with the tenets of empiricism. Only recently with the use of different digital methods and representative digital models can architecture test its prototypes. The newly available methods for laboratory testing have become a basis for analytic architecture. These new experimental methods are becoming the basis for the doctoral studies at the ASK program. The PhD program is geared towards _7 the development of digital technology and enhancing environmental awareness as it relates to architecture and urban design. Professor Wojciech Gasparski says “Human civilization has just faced a serious barrier”. Currently, we see this as becoming more true: consumerism based on the exploitation of the environment inevitably leads to the destruction of both consumers and environment. This decay can be - partially - prevented through common approval for a design methodology. Societies that have accepted the need to foster positive and relevant changes, Gasparski‘s “designing societies”, naturally seek sustainable development. Methods that could allow architecture to scientifically predict future consequences and influences on the environment are crucial to designing - these - societies. Education
