I oA Sliver Lecture Series 2021/22 "Research Cultures“
What are we talking
about when we refer to research in architecture? What is the relationship between design and research? How is research situated
and what is its role within professional practice, academic institution, or a design project itself? Is research a prelude
to design, and is design only an illustration of research? What are the ways, means, and tactics of performing research through
the medium of design?1 Moreover, what do we mean when we talk about design research and research by design, and how do these
notions relate to disciplinary knowledge production? We aim to discuss these questions by presenting a range of disparate
positions in the upcoming Sliver Lecture Series titled: Research Cultures.
