The traditionally institutionalised nature of research can limit its practical relevance and the diversity of individuals involved in it. Practice‐based PhDs are an increasingly popular way of addressing these issues. Harriet Harriss , who leads the Architecture Research Programme at London's Royal College of Art and is a member of the UK Department for Education construction industry panel, outlines their multiple benefits in terms of both student affordability and enhancement of the profession.
