An interview in architecture research is a qualitative research method that involves talking to people who have knowledge and experience in a particular architectural topic or project. The primary goal of an architecture research interview is to gather information, opinions, perspectives, and insights that cannot be obtained through other types of research methods like surveys or observations. The interviewee could be an architect, a student, a client, a community representative, or any other relevant stakeholder in the architectural project. Interviews in architecture research could be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured, depending on the research question and interviewee. The interviewer could ask open-ended questions or use a pre-designed interview guide to steer the conversation. The data collected from the interviews could be analyzed thematically to generate valuable insights that inform architectural design decisions, policies, and practices.
