روش های پژوهش معماری

by Raymond Lucas, رضا سامه (مترجم)

While fundamentally a design discipline, architectural education requires an element of history and theory, grouped under the term "research." However, many students struggle with this part of their course. This practical handbook provides the necessary grounding in this subject, addressing essential questions about what research in architecture can be.

The first part of the book is a general guide to the fundamentals of how to do research, from assembling a literature review to conducting an interview. The second section presents a selection of case studies dealing with such topics as environmental psychology, the politics of space, ethnographic research, and mapping.

The range of methods explored illustrates the variety of possible approaches, with authoritative guidance on how best to deploy a research framework.

Good book with basic ideas about how to approximate to architectural research. Should be a must for a undergraduate applying for a Graduate program

I think this is a great book at the beginning of your career as an architecture student, BUT as an architecture student who's doing her master dissertation this year, it's a bit obsolete. There are a lot of tips and tricks in there that I've already gathered myself during the years I plodded through the study and more specifically through papers, juries and fieldwork. In general it's a complete book, with theory coupled to case-studies as you continue reading. It also includes a glossary of jargon that is definitely worth understanding.

OK. Slightly odd to me that he included his own research projects rather than “exemplars”. I’d also like more “making” methodologies.

Very basic. Good for graduation level students.
