9:00am – 2:00pm (includes Lunch)
Hosted by TAD: Technology | Architecture + Design Journal
As stewards of the built environment, architects provide leadership in the advancement of social, environmental, and technical knowledge. They use this knowledge to deliver innovative designs leading to safe, environmentally-conscious, and livable buildings. Architectural educators, academics, and practitioners are uniquely positioned to contribute to the advancement of these vital areas through original research.
Defining Your Research guides participants through the new knowledge development process and how, or in which modes, investigations translate into research. Designed for tenure-track faculty, particularly those in the early stages of the tenure process, this interactive workshop will be beneficial to those seeking to strengthen or refresh their research and peer-review publication skills. The workshop will include presentations, small group discussions, and hand-on work sessions. A range of research processes will be presented and the workshop format will allow participants to both apply these concepts into their own research argument and discuss strategies with others. Editors for Technology | Architecture + Design and the Journal of Architectural Education will lead the workshop and facilitate the exercises.
During the research workshop, participants:
- Formulate research questions
- Understand the inter/disciplinary contexts in which these questions/queries operate
- Identify appropriate research methodologies
- Examine means for evidence collection
- Discuss how to evaluate findings
- Strategize to communicate these findings
This research framework review will relate modes of creative/innovative inquiries from a broad range of disciplines including design, engineering, and physical and social sciences. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of published research and architectural publishing.
