Summary

The Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC) and the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) held their joint 2010 Architectural Research Conference in Washington DC, USA. The conference served as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of architectural research issues, findings, approaches, philosophies, and potentials, The Consortium welcomed the involvement of researchers, educators, practitioners, and scholars in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning from the USA, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. The final session themes of the conference reflected the diversity of the presenter's work and investigation. The growing interest in performance-based architecture energizes our discipline to engage in rigorous research. Questions addressed during the conference included: What is the place of research in the discipline of architecture? Where does research enter into the practice and pedagogy of architecture? How do architecture schools teach research methods and engage students in meaningful investigations? How do practices conduct research and apply findings in design practice? How does society recognize the importance of research in architecture? What funding sources exist for architectural research? What is the place of pure research? ... applied research? The conference focused on five modules that revealed the scope and diversity of the discipline. Cultural/Social Research studies place-making and the norms of the inhabitants of natural and built places past, present and future; and/or examines the people who inhabit and use the spaces of architecture. Technological Research studies the physical materials, methods, elements, systems, and science of architecture and the design and construction processes. Design Research considers the processes of shaping and making of places. Organizational Research examines the ways in which individuals and teams collaborate in the practice of architecture and in the client organizations. Educational Research examines the pedagogies of architecture and related fields. Unifying our discipline is the underlying concern with the research of place. The mission of this international research conference was to consider significant and rigorous investigations that engage participants in dialogue about the place of research and the research of place in the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture and related fields.
