Understanding Creative Design Processes by Integrating Sketching and CAD Modelling Design Environments: A Preliminary Protocol Result from Architectural Designers

UNDERSTANDING CREATIVE DESIGN PROCESSES BY INTEGRATING SKETCHING AND CAD MODELLING DESIGN ENVIRONMENTS A Preliminary Protocol Result from Architectural Designers

This paper presents the results of a preliminary protocol study of the cognitive behaviour of architectural designers during the design process. The aim is to better understand the similarities and differences in cognitive behaviour using Sequential Mixed Media (SMM) and Alternative Mixed Media (AMM) approaches, and how switching between media may impact on design processes. Two participants wi...

Metaphor: a Creative aid in Architectural Design Process

In the developing world, skills in innovation and creative design have emerged as key attributes for graduating designers. Creativity is essential if we want to generate new solutions to the considerable and complex problems in architecture. Metaphor is frequently expressed as a key tool for enhancing creative design, yet little empirical research has been performed on how novice designers can ...

Dynamic Design: Cognitive Processes in Design Sketching

Modelling and Supporting Processes in Creative Environments

Processes in the screen business are characterised by their agile nature. First, the industry is constantly changing and recent technologies such as High Definition Television, digital production and new distribution channels are having deep impact on the industry’s value chain and processes. Second, processes contain tasks that are highly creative and involve different types of knowledge worke...

Creative Design: Reasoning and Understanding

本稿では,事例に基づく推論 (Case-Based Reasoning: CBR)の立場を取って,長期的な創造的問題 解決とデザイン活動に影響する記憶の問題について調査する.これは,詳細に記録された例・Alexander Graham Bellによる電話の発明に基づき,長期の創造的デザインにおいて繰り返し現れた,Bellのメカニ ズムの推論と理解について要約する.事例に基づくデザインに対し,メカニズムを理解することは,デザ インの制約と類推的評価の類推的予想の元であるとみなされる.しかし,既に理解されたデザインは,背 後ではアクティブであり,ある機会に保留されたデザインの問題を満たす.新しいメカニズムは,計算機 モデル ALEC で統合される.これは,事例に基づくデザインにおいて,ある創造的な振る舞いを説明す る. 1. ALECは Alexander G. Bellのニックネームだ...
