Abstract

Research, professional practice, and learning in architecture are becoming increasingly integrated as the understanding of research and practice is transforming and research assessment criteria are expanding. This changing research landscape has created more diverse iterative and cyclical design research processes and opened new areas of exploration and experimentation in architecture. Building on existing tripartite design research models, such as research ‘into’, ‘for’, and ‘through’ or research stages of ‘processes’, ‘products/outcome’, and ‘performance/impact’, this paper uses the concepts of ‘process-driven’, ‘output-driven’, and ‘impact’ to analyse and classify current architectural design research practices. This framework is used to clarify how research criteria are differently understood in academia and practice, explore the challenges arising from translation between them, and analyse the methods commonly used. While focusing on the UK context, the paper offers transferable insights while using some international case studies.

摘要

随着对研究和实践的理解发生转变，研究评估标准不断扩大，建筑中的研究、专业实践和学习正变得越来越一体化。这种不断变化的研究环境创造了更加多样化的迭代和循环设计研究过程，并开辟了建筑探索和实验的新领域。基于现有的三方设计研究模型，例如“进入”、“为”和“通过”研究或“过程”、“产品/结果”和“性能/影响”的研究阶段，本文使用了以下概念： “过程驱动”、“输出驱动”和“影响”来分析和分类当前的建筑设计研究实践。该框架用于阐明学术界和实践中如何不同地理解研究标准，探讨它们之间翻译带来的挑战，并分析常用的方法。在关注英国背景的同时，本文在使用一些国际案例研究的同时提供了可转移的见解。
