Popis: Two kinds of investigations are usually carried out in the discipline of architecture: research by design and study. They are often mistaken for one another and the current trend is to call the latter research by design even though it does not technically qualify for it. In order to illustrate the differences between the two kinds of investigations, a similar question is addressed by means of the two notions. This question relates to the issue of the residential attractiveness of the European District of Brussels for which a genuine study was carried out in 2015. This analysis demonstrates major discrepancies between study and research by design in terms of framework, generalization, reproducibility and falsification. Yet, beyond those differences, both investigations could be valuable for one another if they were recognized for what they are.
