“…Using analogical reasoning, architectural composition can be viewed as a system that consists of a set of vocabulary elements (with semantics and semiotics associations), and syntax grammars that can be context-free or context-sensitive (e.g., Natapov et al, 2016). The methodological tools used in the structured analysis of compositional languages in architecture are limited (e.g., Eilouti, 2020a;García-Salgado, 2008). This research is designed to contribute to systematic analysis of architectural products.…”

The analysis of precedents represents a significant point of departure for design processing. By applying a language/ design analogy, this research introduces a reverse-engineering tool that helps guide the systematic analysis of architectural precedents. The visual tool consists of four main layers: the morphological, the semantic, the semiotic, and the pragmatic. To test the tool?s applicability, a prominent precedent from the Palladian designs is analyzed as a case study. By developing the tool and demonstrating its applicability for the analysis of the underlying regulatory and formative principles of the Palladian design, this paper aims to contribute to the knowledge of architectural design by introducing an analytical tool for decoding and externalizing the design language. This tool can be added to the existing toolbox of designers, and it can help reveal new insights into the multi-layered compositional language of precedents and their underlying architectonics. The findings related to the tool?s applicability and the compositional language of the Palladian design and its associative meanings and connotations are explained, discussed and illustrated by diagrams.

“…Methodologically, it employs a scenario-based approach that departs from an extrapolation of predicted scenarios of postoccupancy to analyze existing settings. This includes research and analysis of user behavior and its impact on spatial planning to improve the quality, functionality, and adaptability of spaces (Eilouti, 2018a, 2018c).…”

“…Le Corbusier (2007) describes the house as a “machine for living in.” As such, we can view all buildings as machines for facilitating our activities. According to this view, buildings act as systems that host multiple subsystems (Eilouti, 2020b).…”

We spend most of our lives inside buildings. Although human–building interactions have a substantial impact on architectural design, there is no comprehensive framework for addressing buildings as facilitators of such interactions and as an interface between users and the environment. I share a framework derived from a project that incorporates principles of ergonomics into the early stages of architectural design processing. The main research objective is to outline a holistic approach to ergonomics-aided architectural design that addresses interactions between humans, buildings, and their environment. It also functions as guidance for designers to generate human-centered environment-friendly designs.
