Abstract

The design process is a mysterious problem solving activity which is full of hidden cognitive processes. Investigating the design behaviour of expert architects may demystify the hidden aspects in the design cognition. Accordingly, the paper emphasizes that more thinking aloud sessions with expert architects can give the opportunity to investigate the design behaviour towards the design briefs and constraints. Therefore, the protocol analysis is used as the research method to investigate the two architectural design approaches of the pioneering Scottish Architect Paul Stallan. The analysis of the two design processes presents significant differences in the design methodology of the two different design approaches.

摘要

设计过程是一个神秘的问题解决活动，充满了隐藏的认知过程。调查专家建筑师的设计行为可能会使设计认知中隐藏的方面变得神秘。因此，本文强调，与专家架构师进行更多的大声思考可以为调查针对设计摘要和约束的设计行为提供机会。因此，协议分析被用作研究苏格兰建筑师Paul Stallan的两种建筑设计方法的研究方法。两种设计过程的分析表明，两种不同设计方法的设计方法存在显着差异。
