Today, the word ‘research’ have a much broader scope than it was in the past. It raises a question as the article title suggest ‘Is there research in the studio?’. As varnelis reminds us the origins of the research studio by providing various examples he also mentions that research in architecture have changed from concentration on structural and technological innovations to purified arts as a new profession of engineers had evolved. Even though I believe architects need to have profound knowledge on every aspect of design process since there is a possibility that various professions can degenerate the concept, I also believe that today architecture is portrayed as a study that is a combination of art, science and technology.

In the article ’Space, time and architecture’, it shows us how cubism had opened an opportunity for new dimensions in art and how it had created a movement that had helped the art evolution from a two-dimensional to more dimensions. This again connects to the conclusion of the first article where he suggests ‘not to go with the flow but rather redirect it’.These articles suggest as a pupil in the research studio we play a crucial role in not only contributing to the research but also creating a path to further research.
