Applied Research

——Performance-based Design in Praxis Through Applied Research


图片


In today's digital age, how we design is just as important as what we design. This lecture will demonstrate how applied research is utilized to solve real-world design problems and address ongoing academic inquiries.

Cedric Price once posed the question, Technology is the answer, but what is the question? To offer possible answers, we will examine the evolving role of our profession in the current context, with a historical perspective and a future outlook.

Every new project and research opportunity provides a chance to challenge established practices, pose new questions, and develop innovative solutions. This creates a mutually beneficial relationship that enhances and strengthens the field of design.
