Dear Chris
The idea of design as research in the area of architecture is out there
but not universally shared. You would be better reading the journal of
archietcture education (JAE) which has discussed this. In addition, I
doubt whether Nigel Cross's work contributes to this notion as his
agenda in the book you mention and his other work is NOT a vindication
of this. You might pay attention to one of the leading edges of design
(including in architecture

which is design anthropology (e.g.
http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/louridas/pubs/louridas-bric.pdf). Shortly I will
publish into Design Studies (no volume yet) a major study on research
methods in doctoral design and I could let you have a draft version if
it helps. I am sure that the rest of the list wil also help you.
In addition to all the others people wil give you I offer you should
also have these

Dear list,
I am currently working on developing and improving Architectural
Research Methods unit at Curtin University, Western Australia. One of
the important aspects that I am looking into is Design as Research. This
area emphasises design process itself as investigation process. Just
wondering if anyone can point me to some literature in this area. So
far, I have in my list: Architectural Research Quarterly; some
publications from RMIT, including Peter Downton's Design Research;
Design Research Now by Ralf Michel (ed); Designerly Ways of Knowing by
Nigel Cross.
Also any suggestions on how to run research methods in design (in
general) would be great for me! This includes which area in Design
Research do you think is lacking body of knowledge.
Thanks!
-Chris Kueh
