The research poses the following primary research questions:WHY? / Given the agreed need for wider social participation in the design process, why is there limited communication between research into and practice of the subject?WHO? - Who gets involved and how does the user/architect role affect the client/architect role, and within this the client-user relationship?WHAT? / What activities in design are participated in, and to what extent does the architect see this role as guiding the user as opposed to investigating the user's existing interests/awareness?HOW? / How social and technical tools for participation can be used. How can non-specialised language and tools be used to communicate more openly in the process, and how will this affect use of resources?WHERE? / Which types of buildings might be more or less suited to participation of users and the general public in the design process?The research questions identified above will be investigated through:- a review of past and current trends and examples in wider social engagement in the architectural design process, whether 'community', 'individual' or other - identification of key social and technical methods of widening participation, drawing from allied areas of the built environment - identification of good practice case studies and key informants referring to a Steering Group- identification of key institutions with potential interests - isolating good practice and possibilities/constraints for wider social involvement in the architecture design process, through case studies- identifying implications of the research findings for the profession, institutions and the wider public, including issues for future development- making specific recommendations for research development activities and assisting in setting agendas for future activities to promote more systematic and wider social involvement in the architecture design processThe research methods include:a) setting up a participatory process, based on a steering group, for confirmation of key issues, identification of case studies and relevant techniquesb) undertaking an international literature review of participation in design of the built environment;c) implementing in-depth investigation of representative case studies from a broad initial sample where user or wider public participation has been engaged in the architectural design process across the UK, using semi-structured interviews and focus group meetings to identify how these have been assessedd) undertaking a review of visualisation techniques currently used or in development and their actual / potential role in widening participation in building design e) implementing a series of interviews with relevant organisations engaged in issues of public interest in design for new and existing buildings concerning initial findings.The research is speculative in that it seeks to establish a consensual agenda for future research and action by Government and professional bodies. The proposal is essentially exploratory, but the outcomes have the potential to be of particular value to the research community as well as other relevant audiences and constituencies. The study may well assist in challenging existing models of architectural design and perceptions of how wider social participation can be incorporated into these, or change these. In addition it will permit an assessment of the feasibility of tools and techniques (some new and some relatively new to architecture). Finally it is seen as a scoping study for further development work, including research possibilities as well as practical application in the profession.

本研究提出了以下主要研究问题：为什么？14.既然大家都同意需要更广泛的社会参与设计过程，为什么对这一主题的研究和实践之间的交流有限？谁？- 谁参与其中，用户/架构师角色如何影响客户/架构师角色，以及在此过程中客户与用户的关系？- 什么？-我不知道/参与设计中的哪些活动，在多大程度上架构师认为这个角色是指导用户，而不是调查用户现有的兴趣/意识？怎么做？如何利用社会和技术工具促进参与。如何使用非专业语言和工具在此过程中进行更开放的沟通，这将如何影响资源的使用？在哪里？哪些类型的建筑物可能或多或少适合用户和公众参与设计过程？将通过以下方式调查上述研究问题：- 回顾过去和当前的趋势以及在建筑设计过程中更广泛的社会参与的例子，无论是“社区”、“个人”还是其他-确定扩大参与的关键社会和技术方法，借鉴建筑环境的相关领域-确定良好实践案例研究和参考指导小组的关键信息提供者-确定具有潜在利益的关键机构-隔离良好实践和更广泛的社会参与建筑设计过程的可能性/限制，透过个案研究-确定研究结果对业界、院校及公众的影响，包括未来发展的问题-为研究开发活动提出具体建议，并协助制定未来活动的议程，以促进更系统和更广泛的社会参与，研究方法包括：a）建立一个参与式的过程，以指导小组为基础，确认关键问题，确定案例研究和相关技术b）对建筑环境设计参与的国际文献进行回顾; c）从广泛的初始样本中对具有代表性的案例研究进行深入调查，其中用户或更广泛的公众参与了英国各地的建筑设计过程，采用半结构化访谈和焦点小组会议，以确定如何评估这些技术d）审查目前使用或正在开发的可视化技术及其在扩大建筑设计参与方面的实际/潜在作用e）就初步研究结果，与关注新建及现有建筑物设计公众利益的有关机构进行一连串的访问。这项研究属推测性质，目的是就政府和专业机构今后的研究和行动。这项建议基本上是探索性的，但其成果可能对研究界以及其他相关受众和赞助者具有特别价值。这项研究很可能有助于挑战现有的建筑设计模式，以及如何将更广泛的社会参与纳入这些模式或改变这些模式。此外，它还将允许评估工具和技术的可行性（有些是新的，有些是相对较新的架构）。最后，它被视为进一步发展工作的范围研究，包括研究的可能性以及在该行业的实际应用。
