This lecture explores the questions of whether design is a method of validating hypotheses or a method of generating theories synthetically. It delves into the rigour required in scholarly methods and reflects on the Cartesian method in sciences. The presentation also discusses the historical perspectives of scholars such as Nikolaus Pevsner, Reyner Banham, and Charles Jencks in the field of architecture.
