Summary:

"A comprehensive guide to all that an architecture student might need to know about undertaking this task. It clearly navigates the student through the whole process of starting, writing, preparing, and submitting a dissertation, as well as suggesting what to do after the dissertation has been completed. Subjects covered include how to write a proposal, which research methodologies and techniques to adopt, which libraries and archives to utilize (including special architectural resources on the Internet), as well as how to structure, reference and illustrate the final submission. In all of these areas, [this book] explains carefully what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and what the major pitfalls are. The authors also take architecture students into new terrain, suggesting alternative methods of undertaking dissertations, whether as video, prose writing, multimedia or other forms of expression. Furthermore, this guide gives examples of exemplary dissertations of all kinds, as completed by students in Europe and North America, so that the reader can clearly see the kinds of work which they themselves might choose to pursue"--Back cover.
