Abstract

The architectural disciplines are called for a strong and inspiring position towards current societal challenges in Europe. In public and political debates, their role for the ecological reconfiguring of the whole building sector, for the transition of cities to climate-neutrality and resilience, but also for social inclusion, accessibility, and affordability is increasingly acclaimed. And, in particular by the initiative New European Bauhaus, the holistic approach of architecture is seen as an asset, not least for a cultural and behavioural change to sustainability that stresses the value of everyday living spaces and new aesthetics. Recent discussion strongly points to the research dimension of architecture both in academia and in professional practice, and its interaction with other disciplines and society. The authors of this contribution are currently launching an initiative of the German TU9 architecture faculties to establish together discipline-specific standards for research evaluation. Starting from a research project on the German and European context in this regard, this article advocates for a joint effort to position research in architecture. It reviews debates and initiatives in order to identify decisive factors in funding and evaluation, research practice, interactions with practice, education, and society, and the qualification of methods and research outputs.
