建築学
建築学において書かれる博士論文には3つの種類がある。一番多いのは日本の理工系大学で書かれているそれで対象を定量分析するもの。二つ目は文献渉猟やインタビューを元に対象を定性分析するもので、歴史や美学ではこれが行われる。因みに私博論もここにカテゴライズされる。三つ目は提案型のもので先日のガリ君のもののように美大で多い。三つとも審査した経験から言えば、それぞれに生み出す結果に特徴がある。定量分析は客観的であ一方数字遊び的。定性分析は説得力を感じるも恣意的。提案型は建築的だが未来性に立脚せねばならず、そう簡単に首肯できない。
There are three types of dissertations written in architecture. The most common one is written at a Japanese science and technology university and quantitatively analysis of the object. The second is a qualitative analysis of the subject based on literature hunting and interviews, which is done in history and aesthetics. By the way, my theory is also categorized here. The third is a proposal type, which is like Gari’s the other day. Judging from the experience of judging all three, the results produced by each are unique. Quantitative analysis is objective but number-playing. Qualitative analysis is persuasive but arbitrary. The proposal type is architectural, but it must be based on the future, and it cannot be easily agreed.
