AB  - Is Research-Creation a valid and legitimate mode of knowledge production? This was a question posed as the theme of a panel discussion at the 2023 de la mise en culture de la science à la recherche-création that took place at the École des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD). This paper focuses on contemporary research-based creative practices. Rather than arguing the validity of such practice, or examining whether creative practice coupled with research methods equals knowledge production, the purpose of the paper is merely to share, from a practitioner’s point of view, three case studies that speak to if, what, and how knowledge was produced in the creative process of these projects. Engaging with the critical perspectives of scholars, such as Loveless, Chapman, Gänschirt, and Groat and Wang, the discussion begins with insights from the 2016 ZKM exhibition on Frei Otto’s architectural models and expands to share the authors’ pursuits of two of their own creative projects. At the heart of these projects is the interdisciplinary arts-charged creative process, which propels the practice onward as a quest to know something we didn’t know before. A key aspect of all these projects is their focus on questions of significant cultural and societal importance. The journey toward the answers intermittently intersects with science, engineering, and other fields beyond the arts.
