A Comparison of Different Paradigms of Architectural Design Process: Unconsciousness, Consciousness, Hyperconscious
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
There have been different investigations on architectural design process and different models have been propounded to illustrate this process. These attempts have had two aims; first to describe the process and second to improve it based on this description. The interfaces of most of these models are analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. In this research, it has been tried to investigate different aspects of human mind (unconsciousness and consciousness) in aforementioned process. The probe in the role of these items in a single design showed the traces of unconscious more in preliminary designs as in concepts than other steps and also revealed the high activeness of conscious aspect in analysis, evaluation, and detailed design. In the chronological sequence, the delve in the process depicted the unconscious process for designing and constructing in traditional systems which were more based on prefixed archetype patterns able to adapt to trivial and gradual changes of those eras which is not applicable in today speed of changes and demands created newly. Therefore, the process has got to be scrutinized as a “ready-to-hand” process with a more consciously methods. At present time, the combination of designers mind and the help of cyber data storages and algorithms with computer appliance have pushed the process in a “hyperconscious” paradigm.Altogether, the goal for enhancing the architectural design process can be achieved via enriching the unconscious with valuable creative paragons, developing the rational models caught from other fields of science, and using the diverse aiding instruments and appliances.
