Knowledge Communication in Architectural Research

KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The course Knowledge communication in architecture research aims to introduce and discuss traditional academic communication, such as articles, reports and dissertations, and other formats and media in research and practice. The course discusses the properties of different forms of communication and their methodological and theoretical implications. Within the course, the student therefore will develop a wide insight in the relation between media, format, and content as well as the connection between research question, method, and medium.

In addition, the course will train the student in knowledge communication in different formats and media as well as for different audiences. This includes active and participatory forms (seminars, lectures, performances) and externalized forms (text, diagrams, images, objects) as well as interplay them in between. Within this framework this course thus constitutes a basic introductory pedagogical training.

After the course the student should on the one hand know the basis for and have basic skills in academic publishing, and on the other hand be oriented and develop skills in other modes of communication. This include some basic pedagogic skills in terms of knowledge communication.
