Abstract

 
 
 
 he graduation process is the institutional recognition that someone has acquired competencies in a specific field or domain. Typically it is accomplished by a dissertation thesis in which the proponent shows his/her skills in the domain. Thinking so, some architecture schools promote design studio projects as dissertation thesis; in fact architectural design is the activity that better characterizes architecture as a profession, but it is also the most complex activity to evaluate. In spite of design studio allowing the acquisition of reflection- in-action competencies, design is also a cra7 and the design project as final result is heavily dependent on both. 
 
 
 
Highlights
The graduation process is the institutional recognition that someone has acquired competencies in a specific field or domain
Beyond all the institutional accomplishments, the problem is about what does research in design means, how could it be accomplished in dissertation design studios and how should it be evaluated, problems that José Fernando Gonçalves paper answers with a possible thematization of master design studio courses
McGarry is very relevant in this respect because it fosters the design studio dissertation thesis to the accomplishment of a set of complex skills
Summary
The graduation process is the institutional recognition that someone has acquired competencies in a specific field or domain. Some architecture schools promote design studio projects as dissertation thesis; architectural design is the activity that better characterizes architecture as a profession, but it is the most complex activity to evaluate.
