Experimental architecture typically involves rigorous research that combines scientific inquiry, engineering principles, artistic principles, and technological developments. This research may include:
1. Literature review: This involves reviewing existing research on similar topics from books, journal articles, and online resources to gain a better understanding of the topic and related areas.
2. Prototype development: Building prototypes and models to evaluate the technical feasibility and performance of proposed designs are usually required in experimental architecture.
3. Data collection: Gathering data from sensors and other measurement devices, such as environmental controls or acoustic devices, to evaluate the performance of a structure.
4. Analysis: Using computational tools to analyze data collected from prototypes and models to identify design flaws and optimize performance.
5. Testing: Conducting controlled experiments to evaluate the performance of the experimental architecture, which may include structural tests, environmental tests, or user testing.
6. Documentation and dissemination: Recording and publishing the experimental data and findings in journals, conferences, and other publications to share results with the scientific and architecture communities.
