Get Started ( Not Get Stuck ) With Architectural Research

This book is a comprehensive guide for architecture students and young designers, helping them navigate architectural research and design.

Chapter 1 focuses on problem-solving, establishing a strong foundation for research by formulating clear thesis questions and statements.

Chapter 2 focuses on equipping readers with essential tools and knowledge for effective architectural research. It delves into logical tools for architectural reasoning, offering a holistic view of the architectural research process, architectural programming, and research strategies for architectural design.

Chapter 3 further deepens readers' understanding of research methodology tailored to architectural research. It covers practical aspects, such as research outlines, conceptual frameworks, information-gathering techniques, and research methods.

Chapter 4 highlights information analysis's role in refining design decisions and ensuring informed architectural outcomes. Readers learn to categorize information into user analysis, location and site analysis, and project analysis, fostering a systematic approach to evaluating design contexts.

Chapter 5, readers transition to the synthesis phase, where they consolidate their information analyses into a coherent project conclusion. They are guided to consider both tangible and intangible design aspects.This chapter prepares readers to advance to subsequent research and design phases, ensuring their projects are well-informed and aligned with their goals.
