Conceptual design in a master degree course

Abstract

The article discusses a methodology of conceptual design intended for students Architectural and Landscape Design students. The methodology combines analysis of interactions between design and research, which are opposite in many ways. Conceptual design is a connecting link between them. On the one hand, conceptual design is free from some limitations inherent in regulated design practice. On the other hand, conceptual design becomes a research hypothesis that requires proof. This point of view has been verified in the Master degree course.
