About the AuthorLINDA GROAT is Professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.DAVID WANG is Professor of Architecture at Washington State University.
here is a great book by Prof Joongwon Lee Anyone who had suffered writing a clear research paper in the discipline of architecture, or,anyone who had hard time understanding the differences between architectural design and architectural research, or,anyone who had sought to understand systematically the systems of inquiry in architecture, designing research methodsin architecutre, clear reasoning and argumentation in architecture, here is a great book by Prof. Groat and Prof. Wang.The book is basically divided into two parts. The first part provides the theoretical background of . Provides an excellent structure for Research Method courses As a graduate student, I was introduced to the first edition of this book. Now, as a professor of Interior Architecture who teaches research methods, I find the second edition of this book invaluable. I used this book to structure the better part of my course this semester. As with the first edition, the newly revised edition covers basic research design issues before unpacking eight major research strategies common in the field of architecture and design. The overall chapter organization is illuminating for students new to design researc. An excellent read - great resource - invaluable This edition of the book is a fantastic update from the previous version; the inclusion of the new chapters on design and research, and on the research development process, are extremely helpful. I also noticed in the new edition that there were new illustrations and diagrams that did a great job of reinforcing key concepts.There is also an e-book version which is great for those of us that read on the go and like to have resources right at our fingertips - on our phones and readers.A wonderful reference for students and researchers in re
Part I explores basic research issues and concepts, and includes chapters on relating theory to method and design to research. In all, the book covers seven types of research, including historical, qualitative, correlational, experimental, simulation, logical argumentation, and case studies and mixed methods.Features new to this edition include:Strategies for investigation, practical examples, and resources for additional informationA look at current trends and innovations in researchCoverage of design studio–based research that shows how strategies described in the book can be employed in real lifeA discussion of digital media and online researchNew and updated exam
