Abstract

Scientific collaboration is an important aspect of the advancement of modern science development. Various topics and areas in research collaborations have been associated with creativity and science and such handshakes have great impact on interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research output. Therefore, this theoretical discourse promotes a multidisciplinary research handshake across disciplines and in this case between architecture and chemistry. Such interdisciplinary research handshake has been opined to be highly impactful, innovative, and inspirational, are catalysts for new developments in both fields that could be coined as architecturalchem razzmatazz and also referred to as chemarchitecture. Yet, there are a few challenges noted therein which include modalities for collaborators, poorly understood research topics and some researchers view collaborations as working on single topics by researchers within a discipline.
