Digital fabrication in the architectural design process
Digital fabrication is affecting the architectural design process due to the increasingly important role it has in the fabrication of architectural models. Many design professionals, professors, and students have experienced the benefits and challenges of using digital fabrication in their design …

The architectural design process and indoor air quality
… way that he or she can produce solutions for design problems and select the most suitable solution to meet people's needs. Thus a building can be imagined as if it physically exists, and as if it is occupied by users. Although, indoor air quality (IAQ) has been discussed for almost thirty …

The impact of building information modeling (BIM) to architectural design process
Design in architecture is one of the most diverse activities considered by all related parties in construction industry. During the construction design process, many problems and errors such as design changes & rework, incomplete design, standard of quality in drawings and technical specifications, …

project: spARCH: Igniting Design Thinking Through Architecture How the Architectural Design Process can Inspire Social Entrepreneurship
… world waits for the next invention, advocates of design are calling for a revolution and a new way of thinking. Consistently thought of as “cosmetics” and “final touches,” design has been regulated to the confines of grade school arts-and-crafts. However, those who understand the true …

A Framework for the Implementation of Digital Technologies in the Concept Stage of the Architectural Design Process
… AutoCAD and others is now commonplace in the architectural design process. These tools have advantages for time management and support the iterative nature of design, while also providing an efficient connection to later stages of design development and construction documentation. However, it …

Re-defining the Architectural Design Process Through Building a Decision Support Framework for Design with Reused Building Materials and Components
… the lack of easily accessible information to the design team on resource reuse. Therefore, as we promote the idea of building material reuse to a wider audience of designers and architects, we mus not forget that in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, both Reuse and …

A place for anything and nothing
The architectural design process is a cycle of analysis and synthesis which ultimately yields a built structure that responds not only to functional needs but also provides revelations about the world in which we live. Architecture presents a dialogue at different levels and scales, allowing for …

Reflex motion : choreographing the design of a performing arts center in Hadley, Massachusetts
This thesis investigates an architectural design process through the techniques of intuitive drawing, conversation analysis, videotaping, site totems, and a reflexive journal. The design project is a performing arts complex in western Massachusetts. The program includes a performance theater for …

Improving the computer interface in architectural education
… of the computer is increasing within the architectural profession. One aspect of this is the growing use of microcomputer programs in architectural education. Many of these programs have their roots in the engineering disciplines, and therefore their procedural methodology may no t be …

Towards a Unified Framework for Smart Built Environment Design: An Architectural Perspective
… direct affordances. As a result, the traditional architectural process is completely focused on two dimensions of design, i.e., the physical environment based on context and functional requirements based on the users. Whereas, SBEs have a third dimension, computational and communication …

Sequence as a determining factor of design
… experience as it relates to architecture and its design. It recognizes the disparity which exists between the inevitable linearity of our experience of buildings, and the fact that buildings and the process of their design are non-linear. This opposition between the sequential nature of …

A new space type for multi-story housing : a support design with sectional variations
… of the stepped-level type can be chosen by the designers without any design constraints. I propose a method to design with this type and give some support designs as an example. The role & place of this 'space type' in architectural design process is discussed in Chapter 3. The characteristics …

A contemporary dance company and performance areas
… The author used selected dance performances as design generators. This process was largely based on the work of the architectural firm, UN Studio. It expands on the freedom of the architectural design process and defines a balance between ‘fantasy’ and ‘reality’. A contemporary dance company and …
