  Abstract

The present article argues for the inscription of architectureas well as studies of design in various spatial scaleswithin the field of design studies. It claims the need for bridging these two areas of inquiry, architecture and design studies, and for creating a new field that intersects architecture scholarship with design studies, but also with a variety of other fields, such as cultural and urban geography, vernacular studies, interior design, spatial anthropology, material culture, and media studies. This field could be tentatively named as architectural and spatial design studies, showing its affiliation with a broader range of spatial disciplines and practices that includebut are not limited toarchitecture, as well as with the field of design studies.

Key Words: architecturedesign • educationdesign history • design studies • spatial turn • urbanism
