Architectural education has always been related to experimentation: that is, defining concepts, drawing sketches, working on models, then testing and modifying them. This activity mirrors the CDIO learning methods and objectives. Despite this, research studies into the applicability of the CDIO model in architectural curricula are scarce. In the discipline of architecture, hands-on experiences are associated not only with one of the most effective methods of education, but also with a particular way of carrying out research, that is research by design. In this article, the authors present the integration of the CDIO framework into the architectural engineering curricula at Gdańsk University of Technology, Gdańsk, Poland, discuss the results, and indicate which components of architectural education have benefited most from this integration. Another objective was to initiate a discussion on the potential impacts of implementing CDIO into architectural curricula, and its relation to the research by design concept.
