Informing Practice through Research  |  OUTCOMES

Last Wednesday the SA Chapter held the Informing Practice through Research Forum.  The forum was the most recent activity undertaken by the Academic/Practice Work Group, which aims to increase the collaboration between research and practice.

So why is research relevant in practice?  Every architecture project is a prototype.  In order to design architects must develop an understanding of the client’s requirements, the site, the regulatory parameters and the technical factors relevant to the project and resolve this information into a design response.  All of this is research, albeit very project specific and focused research.  Definition of problems and resolution of problems are integral to the practice of architecture as well as are inherent aspects of research.
