PROCESS-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE Design techniques and methods

Explanation of Mapping Techniques in Conversion Design Process: A Phenomenological Approach to the Sensory Perceptions

Phenomenological approach to the design process based on perceptions (Case Study Shiraz School for the Blind)

Researches and evaluation of the different ideas on the subject of design, the complexity of this field of science and providing perspective theories in this regard lead the experts to look deeper into the subject, thus creating descriptive opinions in this regard. Taking another look at this issue will lead the designers and architects to consider a targeted effort based on the knowledge as ...

Application of a Cost-Driven Optimization Method in Beer Brewing Process

The final quality and cost of a manufactured product are determined to a large extent by the engineering design of the product and its production process through activities of off-line quality control methods, namely, System Design, Parameter Design and Tolerance Design. However, in the context of most non-industrialized countries, the off-line quality activities of product design and system de...

Architecture Design Utilizing Precedents The Study of How Iranian Professional Architects Use Design Precedents

Designers usually use precedents in their designs. They may use them through different stages of the design process and to different ends. As this use is important, the study of its positive and negative aspects has encouraged numerous studies to find out about the correct way of using them. In this paper, the use of design precedents is studied by interviewing professional architects and the r...

Developing an analytical model for the formation of a design scenario in research-based design processes in architecture

Although many attempts have been made in presenting systematic models for design processes, most projects have been implemented by non-systematic methods, which seems that too much emphasis on the description of the final project (product) and the lack of attention to the design process are to be blamed for this. In this paper, a specific pattern of design scenario formation in the framework of...

The application and development of graph theory through the space syntax method: The implementation of analytical practical model in architecture

Abstract Over the last few decades, different mathematical methods have been used to design and analyze architectural spaces. Meanwhile, the graph theory provides an abstract model to study the spatial configuration, so that a simple and flexible mathematical framework is obtained to analyze the spatial topological features and their relationship with social and functional concepts in architec...
