Different

only from

... also stem
from different

Audience (steers the logic of enquiry)
Because each research paradigm implies different
questions being asked, different methods to answer
them and different kinds of answers.

AR2U090 Methodology for Urbanism
*Logics of Enquiry
In this exercise, you will need to‘locate’yourself inthe hypothetical triangle that composes URBANISM
at TU Delft. According to your previous education and aspirations for the future, where would you be?
Mark a cross inside the triangle and write your name and country of origin near that cross. Would you
add another element to this geometrical form? Is it a polygon? A square? What other categories would
you add, if any?

Methods in Urbanism: The course“methodology for urbanism”does not teach you any‘meth-
ods’. It is a course about ’methodology’, which is the study of methods and philosophy of science
(philosophy of science is about what knowledge is and how to get to it in a valid way). However,
we discuss methods all the time! Let’s start by making a list of methods we know already, con-
nected to the triangle we saw on the previous page. In the triangle below, write down examples
of research methods connected to design, the human sciences and the physical sciences (or
exact sciences).
What is the main research question for Q1?
