Conducting Research in a Design Practice
February 28, 2008 12:30–2 p.m. ET
1.5 learning units
Price: $195 per location
Demand for practitioner researchers is growing steadily despite the
fact that relatively few architects are well trained in conducting
research. The good news is that incorporating the conduct of
research into a design practice is a fairly straightforward step
for practitioners to take, and firms can begin enjoying the fruits
of such an initiative soon after its launch. Some design firms have
introduced directors of research, hired to bring to those practices
the highly desirable skills of research design and management.
Other firms have started research agendas using current staff and
carefully conceived research strategies. Although the use of
research in design firms is increasing, it is becoming clear that
findings from previous research efforts are not always sufficient
to address current design issues. Consequently the demand for
creating customized design research agendas for clients is surging,
and the firms that can respond effectively to that demand will be
positioned for leadership in this rapidly growing field. This
seminar will introduce strategies that will enable you to quickly
begin conducting research in your practice.
After registering for each seminar, you can invite as many
coworkers and clients as you want to share in the live meeting with
you.
