| summary |
The history of computers in architectural design is very short; only a few decades; when compared to the
development of methods in practical design (Gero 1983). However, the development of the user
interfaces has been very fast. According to the practical observations of over one hundred architects,
user interfaces are at present inflexible in sketching, although computers can make drafts and the
creation of alternatives quicker and more effective in the final stages of designing (Haapasalo 1997).
Based on our research in the field of practical design we would wish to stimulate a wider debate about the
theory of design. More profound perusal compels us to examine human modes, pre-eminently different
levels of thinking and manners of inference. What is the meaning of subconscious and conscious thinking
in design? What is the role of intuition in practical design? Do the computer aided design programs apply
to creative architectural sketching? To answer such questions, distinct, profound and broad
understanding from different disciplines is required. Even then, in spite of such specialist knowledge we
cannot hope to unambiguously and definitively answer such questions. |
