A Theory of “Design by Research”; Mapping Experimentation in Architecture and Architectural Design

In an age of increased fragmentation, orientation and specialization, architectural research that aims at breaking new theoretical ground and introducing new techniques and methods of design makes sense only if it is able to formulate and make explicit an implied “discursive whole”. The article arg...
