ARCHITECTURE POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH PROJECTS page 1 | page 2  POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH DEGREE CANDIDATES - COMPETITION PROJECTS & AWARDS » Postgraduate Research Degree Candidate Awards ADAPT-r architecture, design and art practice training research EU funded PhD practice research partnership between RMIT and leading EU Institutions  EU GRANT AWARDED FOR RMIT ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN PHD PRACTICE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP Grant: Architecture, Design and Art Practice Training Research (ADAPT-r) funding Value: €4Million EUR over 4 years Programme: EU Marie Curie Actions programme of FP7 Partners: RMIT, Australia with Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium (EU Coordinating Partner) University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Glasgow School of Art, Scotland Art School of Aarhus, Denmark University of Westminster, United Kingdom RMIT University in Melbourne has been awarded €4million under the EU Marie Curie Actions programme of FP7 shared with a consortium of universities in the Netherlands, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Finland to support the establishment of a PhD practice research training network. The Architecture, Design and Art Practice Training research (ADAPT-r ITN) aims to significantly increase European research capacity through the dissemination and uptake of the unique and ground-breaking PhD practice research (by project) model developed by the RMIT School of Architecture and Design over the past 25 years. RMIT is the first Australian institution to be funded under the this program and RMIT will work in partnership with the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium; the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland; the Art School of Aarhus, Denmark, and the University of Westminster, United Kingdom. More information on the project: http://cordis.europa.eu/projects/rcn/106609_en.html RMIT Architecture and Design Research: www.rmit.edu.au/architecturedesign/research The ADAPT-r project builds on the establishment of the RMIT University Creative Practice Research PhD program in Ghent, Belgium in 2010. This effectively mirrors the long running RMIT School of Architecture and Design PhD research program in Melbourne. A Practice Research Symposia (PRS) is held in the EU twice a year involving EU and internationally-based RMIT PhD candidates presenting work in progress to international panels, with candidate examinations and exhibitions and related public lectures, conferences and workshops. The ADAPT-r ITN funding enables the significant expansion of this program. It will result in the awarding 32 Fellowships and involve the participation of EU partner institutions in a cycle of 8 PRS PhD research training conferences over 4 years, a major research conference, a major exhibition, documented through three key books and a web site providing public access to research and events. Upcoming ADAPT-r events:  ADAPT-r SYMPOSIUM 1 Venue: UPC Diagonal, Barcelona Date: 22 April 2013 One day event with 10 invited speakers from RMIT and the EU to discuss design practice research and the ADAPT-r project.

The kind of scholarship that is supported by — and generates income for — the architecture schools of British universities may be focused on questions of technology, history or sociology; but the idea that an architect’s day-to-day activity might in itself be deemed a valuable form of research remains alien. In this context, a pioneering initiative by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture & Design represents a valuable breakthrough. In 1986, a professor at the school, Leon van Schaik, established a programme which allowed practising architects to present their own work as the subject of a PhD. Over the course of three or four years, participants attend reviews every six months in which they articulate their methods and motivations. At the end they are required to stage an exhibition, submit a 40,000-word thesis and undergo a viva. The course has established a solid track record in Australia, and in the past few years has begun to operate overseas too. Two years ago, a satellite programme was established in the Belgian city of Ghent which has proved attractive to architects from all across Europe, including the UK. The most recent review session took place last weekend and was attended by current candidates including Deborah Saunt of DSDHA, Tom Holbrook of 5th Studio and Nicholas Boyarsky of Boyarsky Murphy. ‘Having your work reviewed by a jury of peers offers a real stimulus… it’s a form of therapy’ Having just started the course, Boyarsky says it has already proved rewarding. “After 15 or 20 years in the thick of practice you can lose touch with some of the reasons why you set up in the first place, and having your work reviewed by a jury of peers offers a real stimulus,” he says. “It’s a form of intellectual therapy.” Across the two days of reviews in which I participated as a member of the jury, we were presented with a strikingly wide range of presentations. Some participants viewed the process as a chance to open up new avenues, while others saw it as more of a retrospective activity: a means of identifying an intellectual position which might previously have lacked articulation. The course has recently received a €4 million EU grant which will allow it to expand significantly. In the absence of any comparable course in the UK, it is a safe bet that an increasing number of British architects will be joining it."

It is probably the most enduring and sustained body of research of its kind: empirical, evidence-based and surfacing evidence about design practice. It is a growing force in the world, with a burgeoning program of research in Asia, Oceania and Europe. This book documents some of its past achievements. Two kinds of knowledge are created by the research. One concerns the ways in which designers marshal their intelligence, especially their spatial intelligence, to construct the mental space within which they practice design. The other reveals how public behaviours are invented and used to support design practice. This new knowledge combined is the contribution that this research makes to the field of design practice research.

3RRR, Melbourne, Australia  RIBA RESEARCH SYMPOSIA, LONDON Reflection on practice: capturing innovation and creativity RIBA Research Symposium 2007 Jarvis Hall, RIBA, W1 Wednesday 19th September 2007 "The 2007 RIBA Research Symposium took its theme from Leon van Schaik's book Mastering Architecture: Becoming a Creative Innovator in Practice. Launching the event, Professor van Schaik's keynote presentation described his international reflective practice research programme. In the programme practitioners acknowledged as innovative examine, before critics and their peers, their own body of work and its impact – and reflect on their ways of working and future directions. For many practitioners, a design approach is implicit and intuitive. But through this programme of reflection and examination, processes become more visible and accessible, and a language emerges to capture them – to the benefit of critics, educators, and the practitioner community. A range of established and up-and-coming UK practitioners responded to the theme by presenting their own recent work to illustrate their design position and the routes they have taken in pursuing innovative practice. The symposium also included examples of action research where designers engage directly with stakeholders to challenge perceptions and to devise creative new solutions in sectors as diverse as healthcare and disaster relief."
