The go-to textbook for more than a decade, Linda Groat and David Wang's Architectural Research Methods was revised and expanded in a recent second edition (2013), reflecting such interest. 1 The most important area of update is on the relationship between design and research. In particular, it explores research by design, that is, generating new knowledge using design as a method, as do a number of other publications. Among them are Design Innovation for the Built Environment: Research by Design and the Renovation of Practice (2012), edited by Michael U. Hensel, and Design Research in Architecture: An Overview (2013), edited by Murray Fraser. 2 The former is a collection of pieces written by architects, designers, and thinkers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and Europe. It offers an emerging understanding that design and research have a shared purpose that is projective in nature and presents research by design as a way for design practice to engage in the production of new knowledge. The latter brings together writings by researchers, practitioners, and educators, many of whom are associated with the Bartlett School of Architecture at the University College London. It serves also as an
