Workshop on Research in Architecture

Date : 16th to 20th January 2017

Council of Architecture Training & Research Centre (COA-TRC), Pune the academic wing of Council of Architecture, New Delhi, funded Training Program, for architects and teachers in schools of architecture, as “Research in Architecture” Coordinated by Dr. Ujwala Chakradeo, Principal, Smt. Manoramabai Mundle, College of Architecture, Nagpur, Maharashtra.  Training program was held on dated 16th -20th January 2017

The word “Research” is a pivot for many emerging questions in the academic disciplines. Today many researchers are debating the time tested quantitative methods of the positivist era and intuition has emerged as a strong factor for many answers to research questions.

Architecture as a domain has infinite research possibilities. From testing of new building materials to developing advanced construction technology; from exploring new vistas of heritage conservation to evolution of new pre-design exercises to trigger the creative mind; from revisiting history for making history relevant in the present context to working on new structural techniques; from experimenting with new methods of teaching design to reorienting traditional issues to contemporary settings…… the list is endless. However the research domain in architecture has not been explored extensively.

The methods of research in architecture are also going through a change. Traditional documented methodology is being infused with newer trends to make the process of research more exciting and productive. This opens up new vistas in data collection and research methods and helps the researcher in extrapolating the findings to the real world of practice.

The present workshop focuses on the widely used research techniques in architecture. It also will highlight the steps to identifying a research area, making a research proposal and the processes involved in making the research work take a final form. The methodology adopted will be discussions, presentations and group work by participants.

The program is open to all teachers who are interested in pursuing research.  Preference will be given to those who are registered for and pursuing a doctoral degree in architecture.

The contents of the program would include:

  • The intricacies of research in architecture
  • Selecting areas of research in architecture.
  • Framing research questions
  • Positivist and post positivist research
  • Grounded theory in research
  • Tools and techniques of research
  • Framing research proposals
  • Sharing experiences of scholars engaged in research.
