A Vocabulary of Engaging Practices: Reflecting on the Work of the Bureau of Design Research

Authors: Prue Chiles , Leo Care

Abstract

This paper re-visits recent critical reflections on the nature of architectural practice to explore the nature of the alternative practice of the Bureau of Design Research in Sheffield. It situates the BDR as a research-based consultancy, a project office and something other. It discusses the importance of collective responsibility and the role of the academy in the formation of a new practice.
