“Architectural design research is a multi-faceted and rapidly developing field. From established authors to emergent voices, from digital design to curating, this collection of diverse and well-crafted essays forms a wonderful introduction to the range of approaches currently being taken in this lively subject area. Through its three-pronged enquiry into ‘what matters? who cares? and how?’ the volume also provides sustained and critical analyses of some of the -fascinating tensions at play in an area, which can be located between thinking and making on the one hand, and rigour and creativity on the other, as well as the sometimes divergent demands of professional design and academic research.”

Jane Rendell, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, London

Perspectives on Architectural Design Research is an exciting collection of short essays, projects and edited transcripts that offers current perspectives on design research in architecture and aligned disciplines. Contributors include international figures Donald L. Bates, Richard Blythe, Nat Chard, Murray Fraser, Dorita Hannah, Jonathan Hill and Vivian Mitsogianni. What emerges from the multiple perspectives is that contemporary design research – transdisciplinary, multi-scalar and concerning place, people, space and time – provides a collective and subtle mechanism that is propositional and transformative. The shared optimism of the contributors is that this propositional mode of research can be of catalytic value for contemporary culture and society.
