Design Research Interactions: Lessons from Practice

Toward a Culture of Material Engagement in Architecture
For this panel discussion, we intend to gather individuals who their multi-faceted work addresses design-research projects at the intersection of architecture academy and practice. These panelists will highlight their workflow, and/or a particular project and elaborate how their focus on the evolving notion of materiality, material culture, and politics of representation would bring together the design and research under the same umbrella within the architecture discipline
Saturday, April 15th 10:30-12:00 n – Plaza A
Research in Architectural Academic Settings: Challenges and Opportunities
A panel discussion with invited Associate Deans of Research examines academia’s role in inculcating the culture of research in architecture programs in the US. The panelists will share their experiences, envisioning modern curricula and frameworks to merge design-based pedagogy with the empirical and theoretical streams of investigation. The panel will discuss emerging research fields to respond to challenges such as climate change, social and economic societal inequities, responding to communicable diseases, and adapting to future modes of practice.
The discussants will present the challenges and opportunities facing architecture program administration and explore approaches and solutions with the audience. The objective is to help the architecture field and its allied disciplines develop a clear path for research in architecture academia through faculty development and the creation of modern curricula to prepare students for an ever-changing and exciting future.
