Interdisciplinary collaboration plays an essential role in architectural research because architecture is a multidisciplinary field that requires collaboration with professionals from different disciplines. Interdisciplinary collaboration in architectural research provides a platform for architects to work with other experts such as engineers, environmentalists, social scientists, artists, and other stakeholders to address complex issues related to the built environment. The interdisciplinary approach encourages architects to engage in a more comprehensive understanding of the context in which they work. This is particularly important when designing sustainable buildings that must consider environmental, economic, and social implications. Moreover, interdisciplinary research opens new avenues for exploring innovative design solutions, promoting creativity and innovation, which helps to advance the field of architectural research. Overall, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in architectural research in order to foster innovation and achieve more comprehensive and sustainable design outcomes.
