Cognitive processes in architectural design problem solving
Abstract The purpose of this research is to explore the cognitive mechanisms involved in architectural design problem solving. Special attention is given to how design constraints operate throughout the whole process. A proposed cognitive model describes the general cognitive procedure. Schema theory applied from cognitive psychology stimulates the representation of domain-specific knowledhe. The application of production system detects the control strategy, and a laboratory experiment of a residential design is conducted for protocol analysis. Evidence collected from the analysis yields two results. First, that design solutions are generated by means of activating the design constraints and associated rules in memory. Second, that the design ability is determined by the ability to select rules in schema as well as the ability to develop new schema to test newly generated design units.
