Description

Research in architecture is vital for shaping the built environment, driving innovation, and addressing societal and environmental challenges. It supports the creation of sustainable, user-centered, and culturally sensitive designs while enabling architects to adapt to changing needs and stay competitive in an ever-evolving field. Research serves as a foundation upon which architects build, innovate, and contribute to the betterment of society.This course is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of the diverse types of architectural research and the methodologies associated with each type. It offers an overview of various types of architectural research and the methodologies that underpin them. Students will explore the fundamental categories of architectural research and their relevance to the field, gaining insights into how research shapes architectural practice, design, and innovation.This introductory course sets the stage for students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the various types of architectural research and to prepare them for more in-depth research endeavors in the future. It encourages students to think critically about the methodologies best suited to their research interests and the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration in architectural research.This  course is meant for both Bachelor and Master  and PhD students in Architecture and Architecture related fields, who intend to write either Research Thesis or Research Assignments and also for those who have a Research Methodology course as part of your university studies and you are preparing for an exam, this is the right online course for  them.
