What is the role of design research in the types of insight and
knowledge that architects create? That is the central question
raised by this book. It acts as the introductory overview for
Ashgate's major new series, 'Design Research in Architecture' which
has been created in order to establish a firm basis for this
emerging field of investigation within architecture. While there
have been numerous architects-scholars since the Renaissance who
have relied upon the interplay of drawings, models, textual
analysis, intellectual ideas and cultural insights to scrutinise
the discipline, nonetheless, until recently, there has been a
reluctance within architectural culture to acknowledge and accept
the role of design research as part of the discourse. However, in
many countries around the world, one of the key changes in
architecture and architectural education over the last decade has
been the acceptance of design as a legitimate research area in its
own right and this new series provides a forum where the best
proponents of architectural design research can publish their work.
This volume provides a broad overview on design research that
supports and amplifies the different volumes coming out in the book
series. It brings together leading architects and academics to
discuss the more general issues involved in design research. At the
end, there is an Indicative Bibliography which alludes to a long
history of architectural books which can be seen as being in the
spirit of design research.
