Investigative-creative method applied to residential interior design generated by maritime containers

Abstract

Nowadays, the investigative-creative method has taken on a very important role in the field of design and architecture, which is a reflection of a rationalist society focused on or inspired by critical thinking, the product of a long evolution of methods and techniques applied to solve a certain problem. The methodologies have meant a radical change at the moment of projecting due not only to their contribution of data collection and interpretation, but also because of the strong theoretical and descriptive support that they provide to different investigations in the field of design and architecture. This scientific paper shows the results of the use of research methodologies applied to the case study Proposal of residential design through containers in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, for the Arevalo family (2019). In this way, analysis will allow depth to understand how the process of each method used enables the researcher to deepen his knowledge on every topic. In the same way, that knowledge will generate a link to do as a progress point and feedback for the development of new ideas or unknowns and thus generate an optimal result.
