The generation of a theoretical background for an architectural design framework : (towards the definition of the systems thinking architect).</
The objectives of this research were ambitious: the definition and development of a structured methodology that: 1. captures the total environment of complex architectural design problems 2. enables the many parts and interests in an architectural development to communicate and understand each other 3. provides a framework that can embrace the many sub-problems and conflicts that are bound to arise during the definition and appraisal of a design 4. provides a sequence of procedures that enables a design to be elaborated that both solves the technical problems and induces consensus between the interests
