ARCHITECTURAL  RESEARCH  CENTERS:  An  Annotated  Directory 

William  C.  Miller 

Assistant  Professor  of  Architecture 
College  of  Architecture 
University  of  Arizona 

When  discussing  architectural  research,  the  range  of  research  concerns 
currently  engaged  in  are  quite  varied.  The  concerns  include,  for  example, 
behavioral  applications  to  design;  computer  applications  to  design;  housing; 
industrialization  and  building  systems;  educational  and  health  care  facili- 
ties; building  science,  technology,  and  construction;  environmental  controls; 
urban  design,  analysis,  and  planning;  and  man-environment  relationships,  to 
name  only  a  few.  To  make  the  situation  even  more  complex,  those  engaged  in 
research  include  individuals,  architectural  firms,  university  based  research 
centers,  and  non-university  based  research  centers.  There  are  now  confer- 
ences and  periodicals  solely  devoted  to  architectural  research  and  research 
oriented  work.  Directories  and  listings  of  individuals  and  centers  engaged 
in  particular  areas  of  research  are  available.  The  amount  of  architectural 
research  being  undertaken  is  constantly  expanding. 

To  better  understand  what  type  of  architectural  research  is  being  done 
and  where  it  is  being  done,  the  author  initiated  a  survey  of  existing 
architectural  research  centers.  The  intent  of  the  survey  was  twofold. 
First,  was  to  locate  and  identify  those  centers  engaged  in  architectural 
research.  Second,  itfas  to  inquire  as  to  the  center's  major  research  concerns 
and  to  the  availability  of  publications  and  research  reports,  to  establish 
which  centers  publish  regularly  scheduled  periodicals,  and  to  locate  new 
centers.  The  survey  did  not  attempt  to  isolate  individuals  involved  in 
architectural  research  due  to  the  complex  and  difficult  task  this  would 
have  presented.  The  results  of  the  survey  comprise  the  contents  of  this 
directory.  The  directory  contains  those  centers  which  have  responded  to 
the  survey  as  of  the  time  of  publication  (which  represents  approximately 
a  1$%   response) . 

Due  to  the  varied  concerns  of  architectural  research,  the  survey  (and 
this  directory)  attempted  not  to  discriminate  against  any  particular  area  of 
research.  Because  of  this,  the  centers  listed  here  represent  the  full 
range  of  architectural  research  being  conducted  currently.  Those  centers 
conducting  social  science  and  behavioral  related  research,  as  well  as  those 
conducting  building  science,  technology  and  construction  related  research 
are  included.  The  purpose  is  to  include  all  centers  that  responded  to  the 
survey  and  not  to  favor  one  particular  type  of  research  concern  over  another. 
This  is  why  the  directory  is  annotated.  The  annotations  describe  the  major 
research  concerns  of  each  center.  This  easily  identifies  each  individual 
center  and  its  particular  concerns.  An  index  is  provided  and  is  organized 
by  research  concerns  to  enable  those  interested  in  one  particular  area  of 
research  to  easily  identify  the  centers  doing  that  type  of  research. 
By  including  centers  engaged  in  all  areas  of  architectural  research,  this 
directory  will  be  more  comprehensive  and  have  xader  appeal.

There  are  three  sections  to  this  directory.  They  are:  (1)  centers 
engaged  in  architectural  research;  (2)  periodicals  containing  information 
concerning  architectural  research;  and  (3)  directories  containing  archi- 
tectural research  center  information.  The  architectural  research  center 
section  includes  the  name  and  location  of  each  center  in  addition  to  its 
major  research  concerns.  The  index  at  the  end  of  the  section  lists  the 
centers  according  to  research  concerns.  The  periodical  section  lists 
newsletters  and  journals  regularly  containing  research  results  and  research 
oriented  information.  The  directory  section  accomplishes  two  things. 
First,  it  gives  reference  to  locating  research  centers  and  organizations 
not  contained  in  this  directory.  Secondly,  it  contains  directories 
naming  individuals  engaged  in  various  aspects  of  architectural  research. 
Every  entry  in  the  three  sections  is  annotated.  Each  of  the  three  sections 
contains  a  more  detailed  description  of  its  organization  and  its  contents. 

The  author  would  appreciate,  at  any  time,  information  concerning  any 
architectural  research  center  not  appearing  in  this  directory.  He  would 
also  like  to  thank  those  individuals  and  centers  that  kindly  gave  the 
information  and  reports  from  which  this  directory  was  developed.

CENTERS  ENGAGED  IN  ARCHITECTURAL  RESEARCH 

The  architectural  research  centers  herein  listed  contain  the  following 
information  concerning  each  center:  the  name  of  the  center;  the  center's 
affiliation  (if  applicable) ;  the  center's  address;  the  major  research 
concerns!  the  name  of  any  regularly  published  journal,  newsletter,  or 
directory;  and  if  publications  of  project  results  are  available. 

The  centers  are  organized  into  three  categories;   (1)  University  based 
centers  in  the  U.S.;  (2)  Non-university  based  centers  in  the  U.S.;  and  (3) 
Foreign  research  centers  by  country.  Each  category  is  assigned  a  code 
number  series,  and  each  center  is  assigned  a  code  number.  The  code  number 
series  are  assigned  as  follows: 

University  based  centers  in  the  U.S.  -  100  series, 
Non-university  based  centers  in  the  U.S.  -  200  series, 
Foreign  research  centers  by  country  -  300  series. 

The  code  numbers  for  the  individual  centers  have  two  purposes.  The  first 
is  for  identification  of  the  center  and  the  category  into  which  it  is 
classified.  Secondly,  it  eases  the  indexing  problem.  The  "Index  of 
Research  Concerns"  found  at  the  end  of  the  center  listings  contains  the 
major  research  concerns  for  all  the  centers.  The  centers  are  then  listed 
by  their  code  number  after  all  the  research  concerns  the  center  is  engaged 
in.  This  allows  those  interested  in  one  aspect  of  research  to  isolate 
easily  those  centers  engaged  in  that  particular  aspect.

PERIODICALS  CONTAINING  INFORMATION  C0NC3RNING  ARCHITBCTURAL  RESEARCH 

Over  the  past  several  years,  journals  and  newsletters  have  been  created 
solely  for  the  purpose  of  transmitting  information  concerning  the  various 
aspects  of  architectural  research.  These  periodicals  are  as  varied  in 
content  as  the  types  of  architectural  research  being  conducted  today. 
Due  to  the  diverse  nature  of  architectural  research,  it  becomes  essential 
to  include  a  list  of  periodicals  devoted  to  the  publishing  of  research 
findings.  In  this  way,  an  individual  or  organization  can  keep  in  contact 
with  a  particular  area  of  interest  or  in  the  general  trends  of  architectural 
research. 

The  periodicals  are  listed  alphabetically  and  annotated  for  content  and
