Abstract

when an architect confronts a new design problem he uses a sophisticated and unclear process to find the solution. Clarifying the process for an action-oriented activity such as architecture is not an easy task. The process could be quit different for each architect and each subject. This is a reason why most of the design.process models are descriptive instead of prescriptive. The stage of finding the main idea or concept of an architectural design - that is the point of the relation of theory and practice in my opinion - is an unknown stage. In the beginning of the 20th century, it was argued that the creative process could be segmented into four successive stages. Wallas drawing on the observations of Helmholtz labeled these stages preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification.Main idea that is the result of illumination can be named primary generator. Jane Darke-through her PhD thesis on the supervision of Lawson - brings "Primary Generator" to the literature of design research domain for the first time. Darke found that the architects latched on to a relatively simple idea early on, and that the idea would then narrow down the space of possible solutions by providing an initial focus Le. by constraining and guiding the designer's development of a solution. Lawson on his book entitled "How Designers Think" developed "PRIMARY GENERATORS". He observed that some designers deliberately generate a series of alternative PRIMARY GENERATORS, followed by progressive refinement, testing and selection. Attfield, Blandford, and Dowell on their paper entitled of "Information seeking in the Context of Writing" and Sharples on his paper "An Account of Writing as Creative Design" developed PRIMARY GENERATORS' territory to toner' domains such as journalism and writing., - The role of PRIMARY GENERATORS in architectural DESIGN PROCESS requires a closer look. So, this paper attempt to concentrate on it. It explores the ~differentiation aspects of generators and processors in design. Then we try finding a model that shows the role of them in DESIGN PROCESS. On the second part of this paper, the approaches of architects to use different PRIMARY GENERATORS would be discussed. These approaches categorized in two parts: "formal-objective" and "conceptual-subjective". Paper gives some examples for each of these parts through reviewing the DESIGN PROCESS of famous architects. Processor of design and its role through DESIGN PROCESS is also discussed. In this paper three processors' category is distinguished: processor as developer, processor as critic, and processor as controller.On the last part of this paper a model is drawn that shows the role of PRIMARY GENERATORS and DESIGN PROCESSORS/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> DESIGN PROCESSORS through design. It describes the effect of architect's background on the generator and processors which he adopting.
