Architectural Design Research

This online page is meant to become a meeting point for those investigating on Architectural Design Research (ADR) and the cognitive process of ideation and creation in architecture and urban design. 

While architecture played a pivotal role in the early development of Design Research (DR), its focus on intuition and subjective processes gradually distanced it from the systematized methodologies of the broader DR community. This divergence has left architecture underrepresented in the contemporary design discourse, despite its foundational contributions. The goal is to establish ADR as a distinct yet integrated domain that embraces both reflective practice and structured inquiry, thus enriching the landscape of Design Research for the challenges of the 21st century.
