Design Innovation for the Built Environment Research by design and the renovation of practice; Copyright; Contents; List of contributors; Preface; Acknowledgements; Introduction to design innovation for the built environment -- research by design and the renovation of practice; Chapter 1 The project of design research; Chapter 2 One step towards an ecology of design: fields of relations and bodies of knowledge; Chapter 3 On the emergence of research by design and practice-based research approaches in architectural and urban design. Chapter 4 Towards meeting the challenges of facilitating transdisciplinarity in design education, research and practiceChapter 5 Beyond Kenkyushitsu and atelier -- towards a new professional education and practice; Chapter 6 Reality Studio -- a search for design tools to meet complexity; Chapter 7 Research by design in the context of the OCEAN Design Research Association; Chapter 8 Systems-oriented design for the built environment; Chapter 9 Performance-oriented design as a framework for renovating architectural practice and innovating research by design. Chapter 10 The Research Centre for Architecture and Tectonics -- implementing research towards performance-oriented architectureChapter 11 How can biology inform architects?; Chapter 12 Relational practice; Chapter 13 Studio Integrate -- interview with a young practice focusing on research by design; Chapter 14 Multiplying the ground; Chapter 15 Building communication by design: mobile fiction and the city; Chapter 16 Making material of the networked city; Index.
Summary: Worldwide it is becoming increasingly clear that different modes of research are emerging that are triggered more or less directly by the need to renovate architectural practice. One significant prevailing mode is what has come to be known as 'research by design'. This book delivers an overview of this domain. Bringing together a range of leading architects, architectural theorists, and designers, the book presents a diversity of specific approaches that serve to provide alternative modes and methods for dealing with increasingly complex design problems and questions in the service of improvin.
