Architecture, being a multilayered and multifaceted discipline, constructs itself around the intersection of theoretical frameworks and practical applications, thereby generating knowledge through these co-existing domains, out of their symbiotic relationship. The inherent knowledge of architecture is explored around a quartette comprising theory, research, practice and knowledge, each intricately linked and mutually influential. Within this conception, this study conceives theory as a multidimensional conceptual framework for the production of knowledge acquired by diverse methodological approaches to research embedded within the practice of architecture. Then, the proposal further elaborates on the conceptualization and implementation of Experiential Practice-based Learning Modules, as prosthetic inserts to architectural education, serving for accumulation and dissemination of architectural knowledge. Drawing inspiration from Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts such as rhizome, multiplicity, heterogeneity, deterritorialization and plane of immanence, it is aimed to articulate the multidimensional nature of architectural knowledge, acknowledging its inherent interconnectedness across diverse disciplines and layers. The empirical and experiential processes seek to integrate learning cycle with performing cycle within architectural praxis.
