Objectives of the Course Classifying design process and its research inputs by revisiting it.

Comprehending design process and product as a research output.

Integrating design and research to improve innovative perspectives on design.

Modifying an interdisciplinary point-of-view on design and research.

Reframing design and research processes to develop an inter/trans-disciplinary ecosystem.

Emphasizing interdisciplinary collaborations from design issues to create solutions in local and global.
Course Content Course aims to provide an insight to integrated and trans-/interdisciplinary research methods in architecture. These include quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative methods derived from natural and social sciences as well as arts and humanities. Students are expected to frame a research-based design solution(s) integrate with other disciplines, depending on their topic/area of research.
