ARCH 512: Architectural Research Intro

Architectural research is defined as the search for new knowledge about the built environment. It can be conducted in various sub-disciplines like building technology, environment-behavior studies, and history of architecture. Architectural research has clear goals, follows a systematic method of inquiry, and produces significant results. Design can also be a form of research if it incorporates these key characteristics. Architectural research methods are an important part of architecture programs and curriculums.
