Some universities teach students how to research, they do research for thesis, but not design.
I wonder that how they can apply the way to do research to design process? I hope it's not only prepared basic data before for designing?
I know some universities can apply the way to research to design process, for example, going to see other building and find technique how to design >> it could be theory
If you have any recommended book about the relationship between research and design, pls suggest me.
Thanks

My whole thesis studio was based on Alexander's Pattern Language approach. I'm sure there are other similar methods but - applied correctly - I find it's one of the best ways to translate observational + cultural research into architecture.
The problem is that 90% of the time it's not applied correctly.

observation is the first skill for an architect to master. everything else falls into place after.
Sorry for my poor English.
