A Research Proposal is a formal document that outlines the "what," "why," and "how" of a proposed study, serving as a roadmap for the architectural research process. It begins with a clear Problem Statement that identifies a specific gap in current architectural knowledge, followed by a Literature Review to ground the study in existing academic discourse. The proposal must clearly define the Research Methodology—whether qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods—to explain how data will be collected and analyzed to answer the core research questions. Ultimately, a well-crafted proposal justifies the significance of the project, proves its feasibility within time and budget constraints, and acts as a contract of intent before the actual investigation begins.
