The School of Architecture in the University of Sheffield is known for the excellence of its research and teaching as well as its strong links to practice. It is leading the development of Architectural Research Practice (ARP) in the UK because of its long-term commitment to social and environmental values. The development of evaluative techniques is key to understanding where and how best to use resources to improve the quality of our built environment. Evaluative techniques are also vital for demonstrating the contribution of our profession to society and to our economy. There is much to gain from the development of architecture’s knowledge base, but it requires a cultural shift towards collaboration, not only between practice, academia and clients, but also with other disciplines and organisations beyond architecture’s traditional concerns. Central to this is the development of a shared language, the fundamental aim of this book.
