Research at the Department of Architecture encompasses very different disciplines, each with very specific content and methodology. The topics range from fundamental questions about architecture and its history, to the development of new methods, models and technologies, to concrete considerations of planning and building practice; in addition, there is art history with its own focus, but also many interfaces with architecture. The doctoral colloquium is intended to provide an insight into this broad spectrum of topics and the methodological diversity of research at our department.
Doctoral students of the department will present the current status of their dissertations in short lectures and answer questions from the audience. The aim is to promote discourse among the academic mid-level department and at the same time to generate ideas for scientific work - also among Master's students. In a preceding workshop the topic 'Research by Design - Design Research' will be discussed. All staff members and especially PhD and Master students of the department are invited.

Program:

11:30 a.m.
Workshop: Research by Design - Design Research
Department Room Room 136, Architecture Building (20.40).
Continuing the discussion started in November 2018 and May 2019 with various guest speakers, the workshop will ask to what extent ' Research by Design - Design Research' actually represents a distinct research direction or methodology and if so, what methodologically distinguishes it from common methods of (qualitative) research. Prof. Riklef Rambow and Prof. Andreas Wagner will lead the discussion; Monica Tusinean from the Department of Structural Engineering will explain how 'research by design' "works" in practice, and her motivation and attitude towards it. She is doing her doctorate in the Design-Based Doctorate (PEP) programme at the TU Berlin.

Green Grotto, Architecture Building (20.40)

A striking feature of the Department of Architecture is its different disciplines, each with very specific content and methodology. Accordingly, the research approaches also differ, ranging from fundamental questions about architecture and its history, to the development of new methods, models and technologies, to concrete applications in planning and building practice. The doctoral colloquium is intended to provide an insight into this broad spectrum of topics and the methodological diversity of research at our department.
Doctoral students of the department will present the current status of their dissertation in short lectures and answer questions from the audience. The aim is to promote discourse among the academic mid-level department and at the same time to generate ideas for scientific work - also among Master's students. In a preceding workshop, different research approaches in architecture will be discussed as well as their border areas or possible overlaps. PhD students and academic staff as well as Master students of the department are invited.

Program:

11:00 am
Workshop: Research in Architecture
Introductory lecture by Dr. Peter Bertram, School of Architecture, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts entitled "Research Diagrams".
Dr. Peter Bertram is Associate Professor and Head of the Master`s programme in Art and Architecture at the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In his talk he will first introduce criteria for artistic research which more or less mirror the fundamental scientific criteria. In a next step he will comment on the founding operations of research by design, sketching the basic model and comparing it to artistic research. Finally, he will present some of his own work and the way he conceives of the relation between research and artistic practice. This is followed by a discussion on the three different approaches to research as well as about benefits to move across the line between artistic practice and scientific research.
