The development of the design idea and its relationship to the signing of the event Applied research on urban design projects

Abstract

The research attempts to reveal the design thinking that goes on in the designer’s mind when he tries to allocate a certain activity inside the architectural project. The research views designing as an explicable process even if beginner or experienced designers couldn’t give convincing reasons for all the decisions they make. The designer is a person who works on the data given to him and produces his design idea through a planned succession of analytical, structural and evaluative steps until he reaches the best possible solutions. Accordingly, the research hypothesizes that the activity inside the architectural project depends, to a great extent, on the development of the design idea in the designer’s mind. The aim of the study has been to reach the best design method for activity inside the architectural project through design strategies.
