Research identification of the problemGunjan Verma
This document outlines the steps in the educational research process. It begins by defining research and noting that the first step is identifying and defining the problem. The key steps in identifying a problem are: selecting an area of interest; delimiting the problem by clarifying and limiting the scope; and evaluating whether the problem is researchable, new, significant, and feasible given the researcher's skills. Sources for identifying problems include personal experience, professional literature, contacts, suggestions, and social/technological changes. Once identified, the problem is further refined through operational definitions before hypotheses are formulated.

The document discusses several functional dimensions of urban design including the use of public spaces, density, mixed uses, and privacy considerations. It describes how public spaces should provide comfort, relaxation, passive and active engagement, and discovery opportunities. Higher densities are preferred to lower densities as they support more sustainable development patterns with efficient use of land and resources. Mixed uses that blend residential, commercial and other functions are also highlighted as important for urban vitality.
The document discusses defining a research problem and its components. It notes that a research problem exists when there are desired outcomes but uncertainty around which course of action is best. Key components of a research problem are an individual/group with a difficulty, objectives, alternative actions, and doubt about the best alternative. When selecting a problem, overdone, controversial, too narrow/vague topics should be avoided and the topic must be feasible with available sources. Properly formulating the problem is important and involves laying boundaries, understanding the nature of the issue, reviewing literature, discussions, and developing a specific research question.
A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be improved upon, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation.
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.

This document provides an introduction to incremental design. It discusses different types of design such as industrial design, graphic design, and interaction design. It explores defining design and discusses its boundaries. Design is metaphorically described as having a heart (applied arts), body (rational processes), and mind (thinking methods). The document also examines components of good design like the design process, users, and experts. It outlines categories of design and shows models of design thinking and design management.
The document outlines a design project for a School for Digital Design that explores the use of Voronoi diagrams to generate the spatial organization and relations between functions in the building design. It describes initial experiments using Voronoi tools in Maya to model 3D spatial relations and the potential of this approach. The project then examines how to develop the Voronoi concept further through physical modeling and defining the rooms, functions, and network connections between spaces.

The document argues that taking a broader perspective when designing leads to better design outcomes. It discusses how considering interaction, collaboration, usability and strategic design from a holistic viewpoint results in designs that are easy to use, useful, desirable and legitimate. Adopting a wider view beyond the boundaries of the individual design problem allows for more mature design concepts.
