Abstract: | This text proposes a framework for provoking and sustaining a debate on the question of architectural design doctorates. Through a series of aphorisms it argues that the formal structure of architectural research should be defined by architects according to disciplinary specificity. - Architectural design is to architecture what research is to science.
- The recognition of architectural design as research is more a problem of academic and social legitimisation than an epistemological one.
- The process of architectural design is close to the process of knowledge creation in the sciences.
- Architectural design is a process that incorporates and reconstructs knowledge.
- The doctorate is a link in the chain of professional training of scientists as researchers and of architects as designers.
- The ArchD is an opportunity to improve the practice of architecture.
- The ArchD is an exploration of architectural design, the main tool of architects.
- The Interface ArchD connects architectural design to theories and practices, to other forms of design and to other types of knowledge.
- The Didactic ArchD contributes to the training of design professors, to the conversion of design knowledge into educational content and to innovation in learning environments in architecture.
- The Self-reflective ArchD questions real or simulated practice, or proposes visionary designs.
- There is no axiological difference between architectural design and scientific research.
