The abstract of his presentation is:
In professional areas in which there is an element of design practice, such as architecture and urbanism, the academic model of knowledge has not been fully articulated. This means that often the values held in professional practice run counter to the traditional models of knowledge and research that are adopted. As a result there is a problem in accounting for research in these areas in ways that will be recognised and valued by both communities. There is an ongoing debate about the best way of dealing with and reflecting these values that are, from the academic viewpoint, non-traditional. The debate has substantiated an emergent type of research that is specific to areas of design practice that is sometimes called ‘Practice-based Research’ (PbR) or, in the case of TU Delft, ‘Research by Design’.
