  1. THE EMPIRICAL CYCLE Hugo Priemus

  2. Research methodology in behavioral and technical sciences M&T Methods Techniques NO YES Refer to classical methodology of research Corporate with architecture faculty in other countries Together with TUD sub-faculties Together with associated Faculty of Architecture at TU Eindhoven Wise Efficient TUDelftse Methode Eccentric self-contained

  3. Prof Dr.A.D de Groot SCIENTIFIC FORUM where new motion and development are constantly tested and evaluated, in which international associations or networks of researchers play a crucial role. CIB (Conseil International du Batiment) UIA(Union International des Architectes) Environment& Planning Ed.B & Built Environment Research methodology as a habitus: write justify verify make one vulnerable, seek out critics and allow others to take a look behind the scenes DEBATE (presentation & discussion)

  4. EMPIRICAL CYCLE Phase 1: Observation: collecting empirical materials; forming hypotheses Phase 2: Induction: formulating hypotheses Phase 3: Deductions: deriving particular consequences Phase 4: Testing: predictions in new empirical material Phase 5: Evaluation: of the result and apply to the new, related research – MODEL Evaluate models of different design, when empirical data is playing a essential role on evaluation. Models that fail to describe results are more useful for improving insight.

  5. SYSTEM ANALYSIS Formulating the problem Identifying, designing, and screening possible solutions alternatives) Logical solutions Pre-calculating future context De Joon: Some future can be predicted, others must be designed. Constructing and using models for predicting results Form solutions Comparing and classifying the solutions alternatives) System analysis is an extremely suitable tool for helping designers. It forces designers to consider criteria, values, and goals, which allows long-term and short term discussions of uncertainties, and supports policy considerations of the final decision-maker.

  6. ARCHITECTURE AND PSYCHOLOGY UNIQUENESS Locations, projects / every human being GENERALISATION Typology / human behavior Statement: It is impossible to verify a design by modeling or any other empirical data; and discussions in the conferences are never decisive. Thus the empirical cycle is a non-sense in Architecture practice.
