Conclusion: Is Therefore Becoming More Common and Formalized, As Reflected

The document discusses the relationship between academic research and architectural practice. It notes that investigating context, understanding user needs, and learning from precedents are important parts of architectural work that rely on research. The connection between research and practice is becoming more formalized through opportunities for practice-based PhD programs. While the document focuses on student research experiences, it emphasizes the importance of demonstrating how research can be applied outside of academic settings. The conclusion advocates for an expanded view of architectural research, noting there are many valid approaches and no single method can provide all the answers for such a complex field. Researchers should not restrict themselves to one research paradigm and place their work in the intellectual debates of their discipline.

The investigation of a context remains part of the architectural

discipline, too — meeting the needs of clients and users, understanding a

building for reuse, or working with precedents in order to produce more
engaging architectural spans are all based on good research.

The connection between academic research and architectural practice

i s therefore becoming more common and formalized, as reflected
in the increasing number of opportunities for practice-based and
professional PhD research, which reduce the gap between research
and practice. Although this book is primarily focused on the student
experience of research, it is crucial to demonstrate how such work is
utilized outside the academic context.

Conclusion
Rather than defining what lies inside or outside the realms of research in
architecture, this book aims to discuss research as an expanded field of
possibilities Rather than there being a singular approach, it is clear that
there arc a great many valid and useful forms for architectural research
to take. Architecture is, by its nature, a complex, multifaceted field of
study, meaning that no single approach can tell you everything you need
to know

Researchers need not restrict themselves to a single paradigm of

research, and most will be informed by a number of approaches. What
is important to reiterate here is the need for openness and honesty
about the process and framework of your research. Placing your work
within the intellectual debates of the discipline is essential, too, for
even if a work is highly original and represents a substantial move away
from conventional models, it must say why and how it surpasses these
established methods and analyses.
