Abstract
AbstractThe Architectural Humanities ResearchAssociation (AHRA) 17th AHRA PhD StudentSymposium 2020, to be hosted by the School ofArchitecture, Planning and Landscape at NewcastleUniversity, takes as its departure point thetendency for architectural research to be dissectedinto distinct disciplinary categories, including‘architectural history’, ‘architectural theory’ and‘architectural design’. This categorisation impliesthat architectural research requires methods to beapplied from outside of its discipline, rather thanconceiving of architectural research as a disciplinewith its own research methods. How then might weconsider our encounters with architectural researchin a way that links to our own ways of working andconception of the wider world?Encountering architectural research in this waymeans acknowledging that architecture is not onlyinherently interdisciplinary, but that it is also afield offering its own distinct practices and ways ofrelating to society and culture. It is such re-thinkingthat, as this symposium proposes, opens thepossibility for architectural research to be situatedas a core research discipline. This re-considerationof architectural research is part of an ongoingproject conceived by the Architectural ResearchCollaborative (ARC) at the School of Architecture,Planning and Landscape at Newcastle University.
