- This issue entitled »Species of Theses and Other Pieces« is concerned with practice-oriented research. It responds to the growing interest in questions concerning architectural practice and the forms of representation that such research efforts can take. The issue began with the international doctoral workshop »Approaching Research Practice in Architecture: Five Questions«on October 8–9, 2020, followed by five further course modules for early career researchers between December 2020 and April 2021, and consequently concluded with this publication.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The term »thesis« derives from the Greek θέσις, meaning »something put forth«, and refers to a proposition. How we know is mediated as much through the form of the thesis as it is through its content. While traditionally thesis takes the format of a written treatise and follows specific conventions that guide and limit its structure, content, and language, research through practice is more often »an epistemic inquiry, directed towards increasing knowledge, insight, understanding, and skills« that challenges accepted epistemic norms, research processes, and outcomes (The ViennaDeclaration on Artistic Research 2020).Practice-oriented research is thus characterized by a level of freedom to invent its own formats, methods, and visual and written languages in line with the requirements of the research endeavor. It often »connects to a variety of professional fields and communities« (The Vienna Declaration on Artistic Research 2020), may address audiences beyond academia, and focuses on the inspiration of novel research questions for creative development in, for example, education, societal and environmental debate, and innovative technology. Consequently, practice research or practice as research does not only exist in the arts, design, and architecture but in most practical fields such as clinical medical research, research related to care practices, and learning sciences, etc. This opens up the possibility of new trajectories and exciting collaborations between the arts and design, and natural and social science research.
