... The design process is the fundamental basis upon which any component is built; it investigates how we accomplish what we accomplish. It is a set of procedures that creative types use to create functional processes and products [35]. The design process is the sequential development and analysis of a construction project. ...
... The suggested non-linear design approach does not negate other approaches to design but adds another dimension to an increasingly pluralistic palette of architectural design methods. [15] [6] The literature suggests that there are five types of architectural design processes that can be summarized as, Fig (4): [16] [10] Divisions: "Design process includes choosing the best solution out of several options of design solutions" (Jones 1968). Cycle: "Design process is a series of endless repetitive cycles" (Snyder 1970). ...

... Architects generally follow a pattern or sequence of processes to achieve their designs from conception to completion. In many countries, there is no prescribed approach in designing a building (Abowardah, 2016;RIBA, 2020). There is no written or published version of 'the way to do it.' ...
... Occasionally, this design process is repeatable, consistent and intuitive (RIBA, 2020). In comparison, Abowardah (2016) and Makstutis (2018) stated that the design process is essentially executed through a gathering of information (research), testing and evaluation (revision) of the design decisions to the problem. In the UK, The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of Work is the most often used framework tools in understanding the construction process (Ojo & Pye, 2020). ...
Architects must have an adequate and relevant understanding of Prevention through Design (PtD) to execute essential design decisions during the early design stage. The understanding of PtD as a proactive safety intervention throughout the design process has been supported in various studies, but there has been little research incorporating PtD in design practices by the architect and provisional architectural safety design parameter on the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) matters, thus, leading to the gap in this study. Considering thePtD concept as part of the sustainable strategy into the architectural early design stages may significantly enhance the building's life cycle and safety performance, particularly during the operational and maintenance phase of the building projects. Therefore, the systematic review was motivated by the belief that the early architectural design stage is one of the key factors improving safety performance in the practice of PtD. This review begins by analysing literature from 2011 to 2021 with relevant keywords related to the architectural design aspect that contributes to building safety performance, followed by characterising the safety aspect at the early architectural design stage. The findings were identified and clustered into the following five categories of the architectural design parameters: 1) Site planning, 2) Space Planning, 3) Building envelope, 4) Design for Visibility, and 5) Environmental Design Parameters. This finding is hope to be able to providean architectural frame of reference on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) matters, allowing future researchers and practitioners to address sustainable aspect of safety in the early architectural design practices of PtD while optimising building safety performance across the building life cycle projects.

... A diagram has been drawn up that defines in detail the process of modular design and product creation for a prosumer (Figure 1). Some models have been taken as a reference that divide a product's life cycle into various phases [23][24][25][26][27]. Specifically, the eight phases defined by Asimow [25,27] have been used because they provide a greater precision within the process than the sub-phases of the general stages (preliminary design, production and consumption) defined by other authors [23,24,26]. ...

Modular design is the design based on independent and connectable modules to achieve product variety. It is an ideal tool that could facilitate the inclusion of prosumers in the creative process. However, its evolution has focused on product development and not on end users. The creation of a new modular design model for prosumers could respond to their needs while exploiting the advantages of modularity. The present work analyzes the applicability of modular design in the prosumer scope and defines a guideline for the creation of the new model. To this end, prosumer and modular design methods are collected and analyzed throughout the previously defined design process. The intersection between both terms is analyzed through a series of real cases and design methods that show what the objectives of prosumers are and if the present products and methods meet their needs. These results will establish the current and potential link between modular design and prosumers. Finally, the objectives and stages to develop the design model based on previous results are presented. The paper presents relevant findings such as the lack of methods in the conceptual design phases and a guideline to ensure that the prosumer benefits from modular design.
... Exploring the design strategy concept is a design process that consists of 3 phases, knowledge, invention and developing tools. [9] Studying what other designers have done can solve some problems and provide the solution. Precedent is part of the design knowledge form. ...
Physical distancing is part of the design process affected by the spread of Covid-19. 4 work precedents use physical distancing due to the Covid-19 as part of the problem that must be overcome by adapting and finding new design strategies. This paper analyses a precedent study on a public space design proposal designed for post-Covid-19. This paper aims to provide an overview of the design strategy concept to become a design reference as a solution to Covid-19 Pandemic. The method used in this paper is a precedent method by analysing the case studies that relate between public space and physical distancing with placemaking and physical elements. The results of this paper show that the various functions of the public space proposal show a variety of design approaches in the form of public with considering the physical distancing.
... Architectural design like any other form of design involves designing. Abowardah and Manal(2016) describes designing asa process formed through three main phases: Knowledge, Developing Tools equivalent to "Codex Rules" and "Invention". Unlike other systems, with CAD,any design process or product could be depicted in graphical form with comprehensive details and accuracy using lines (straight, curved or polygonal), layers, three-dimensional (3D) shapes,and objects (Thepro 3D Studio, 2019). ...
With the rise in remote learning, global competitiveness and collaborative world characterized by deployment of information communication technology (ICT) in all spheres of learning and practice, architectural students often find themselves at the pivot of dualism constrained by impeding factors existing as an outcome of past and present contrasting cultures in architectural advancement, along with their innate values and methods of expression. One of such is the insistence by some schools of architecture in Nigeria that undergraduate students' design studio courses must be done through manual drafting. However, it is observed that students are more inclined to technological adaptations due to 'age' (revolutionary influence). Thus, this paper investigates the Effect of Computer Aided Design (CAD) on Architecture Undergraduate Students' Manual drafting skill. University of Uyo, Uyo, Nigeria was purposefully selected for this study. Data was collected by means of structured questionnaires administered to students from the first year to the fourth year in the 2018/2019 academic session. Data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that 88.6% of students strongly agreed and 6.7% agreed that students prefer to use of CAD to Manual drafting. The sum of percentage in agreement 95.3% indicates significant difference in students' preference of CAD over manual drafting. This research validates that manual drafting should be used simultaneously with CAD in the training of undergraduate architecture students as a fundamental tool and should be juxtaposed with intensive digital drafting for standard output with future benefits.

One of the most influential factors in architectural design is creativity. The enhancement of student creativity is a universally sought objective. This research hypothesized that computer-aided design, experience, sketching, physical modeling, learning environment, and images and visual references can serve as powerful tools to stimulate creativity in the architectural design process. It sought to investigate which of these components has the greatest impact on increasing student creativity. A total of 114 bachelor students and 347 master students of Architecture were surveyed using a questionnaire. Data were then analyzed using SPSS and one sample t-test and Friedman test for ranking. Results showed that experience can significantly increase the creativity of students in the architectural design process compared to the other components.
