Descripción
Sumario:The aim of this paper is to concisely contextualize the Research by Design (RbD) methodology and its impact on architectural research and academic training. RbD has proven to be a relevant methodology in contemporary architectural programs, as it links theory and practice within an interdisciplinary research framework. This approach is crucial in addressing the challenges of the 21st century, as it enables creative processes to focus not only on design but also on knowledge generation. The text succinctly references the theoretical contributions of authors such as Christopher Frayling, Leonard Bruce Archer, and Jeremy Till, whose perspectives are essential to understanding the relationship between design, creativity, and research practices. The methodology employed includes a brief critical review of these key texts, allowing for the positioning of RbD’s relevance in both university education and professional practice. The conclusions highlight that RbD coherently integrates theory and practice, fostering rigorous and creative research that enhances both student learning and professional practice. Ultimately, RbD is a key tool that drives innovation in both academic and professional environments.
