Abstract: This paper examines the intricate relationship that exists between the field of architecture and the role that research can play in it, by describing how this relationship has manifested itself in academic environments over the past two decades. The paper goes over modalities and methods to conduct architectural research, illustrates paradigmatic examples, and identifies a specific place for the formulation of what research can constitute in architecture. In analyzing architectural research connected to doctoral education, but also to the second cycle of higher education, the paper describes the Design Studio as the ideal place where teaching, research and learning can blend in to produce innovative and meaningful forms of knowledge.
