“…This theoretical framework is used to analyze the identity of the place. By understanding the meaning and function of a context, we could reduce some keywords, ignore their natural form, and see the other factors of the manifestations we did (Plowright, 2014). Furthermore, understanding the aspects, we found in our investigation could be translated to get a different form but with the same intent.…”

The first initial investigation is carried out by studying several precedents adapted from the rationalist and modern movement eras. The discussion starts with a question regarding why most office buildings use the international style as their building expression. International style has architectural characteristics such as a simple form, pure structure, simple geometry, glass wall facade, and form follows function. This style mostly shows a need for more identity that responds to local values and expressions. The architectural buildings become placeless and do not represent the place with specific environmental responses and identity (contextual architecture). Additionally, an office building should be able to respond to the users' activities and their identities/characters. This paper is based on the process of a design project, from design thinking, research, and design process to conceptual design proposal. Design thinking is started by asking the question, "what if" the new building design proposal reverses the international style's facts through literature studies? The goals are to create the latest concepts that express their character and image to portray both the users' characters and the location, which is human and environmentally friendly, using contextual analysis. Next, the design process includes explaining and arguing the process, from proposing the design concept to building transformation. Some methods are used to determine the 'big idea' and design criteria and parameters, including the first principle, domain-to-domain transfer, and the site response. The design proposal expresses the building's heritage and its atmosphere, users' characteristics, and low energy efficiency. The design results highlight the "value of the site" and "character of the building user," which are essential to creating the building image and identity.

“…Contextualism is one way to solve problems regarding the historical environment by constructing new buildings in that place (Jon-nwakalo, 2019). Second, to process the aspects obtained from the design research, the first principal and domain-to-domain theoretical framework are used during the design process (Plowright, 2014).…”

“…This research was conducted to examine the design of the building using a force-based framework consisting of three stages which are 1) force identification, 2) proposed form-refineassembly, and 3) proposal (Plowright 2014) as indicated in figure 8. The geometric shapes were determined in stage 2 (propose form-refine) using several methods such as simulation which was later evaluated at the assembly stage to produce the proposal.…”

Residential houses such as flats located near industrial areas are vulnerable to the threat of high-intensity dust, thereby, exposing the occupants to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in the form of health problems, especially in the upper respiratory system. Therefore, this research was conducted to find appropriate design solutions to minimize dust from entering buildings through the application of geometric planes as a form of defense. It is also important to note that dust is closely related to the direction of the wind which is its conveying medium. This led to the determination of the right geometric shape to be applied as a dust barrier in the building facade. Moreover, this research was based on the force-based framework which proposes a form-refine-assembly stage consisting of several methods to determine the shape through simulation and evaluation associated with existing theories. The results were able to determine the position and shape of the facade area to serve as the barrier to the arrival of dust. The design is expected to be integrated into the shape and landscape layout of buildings to reduce dust in the site area.

“…Accordingly, architectural discourse relating to the design process does not identify generalised ideal process models or predefined steps, instead pursuing an “omnidirectional” and “multi-consideration” approach (Kara and Bosia, 2016, p. 22). Theoretical frameworks for architectural design processes, as for example outlined by Plowright (2014), thus give a pluralistic account of architectural designing as based on choices and values. Accounts of creative design practice in architecture typically relate to specific cases, describe unique processes and often emphasise the unpredictable nature of applied designing (Behnisch, 1997).…”

Design cybernetics in support of cross-disciplinary collaboration: educating the next generation of Chinese architects and structural engineers

Purpose This paper offers design cybernetics as a theoretical common ground to bridge diverging approaches to design as they frequently occur in collaborative design projects. Focusing on the education of architects and structural engineers in China, the paper examines how compatible approaches to design can be established in both disciplines. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyses relevant literature as well as observations from Chinese practice and academia. Design cybernetics is introduced and examined as a basis for establishing shared narratives to support cross-disciplinary collaborations involving architects and structural engineers. Findings Design cybernetics offers a body of vocabulary and a rich resource of strategies to address applied designing across design-oriented disciplines such as architecture and science-based disciplines such as structural engineering. The meta perspective of design cybernetics also provides a basis for the implementation of pedagogy supporting cross-disciplinary collaboration in applied design. Research limitations/implications The scope of the paper is limited to the examination of the theoretical framing as well as the implementation of pedagogy in the cultural and geographical context of China. Practical implications The paper outlines several design cybernetic strategies for pedagogy in support of cross-disciplinary collaborative design processes and illustrates their implementation in applied design education. Originality/value Addressing a significant and persistent gap between the two disciplines of architecture and structural engineering in the context of Chinese building practice, this paper examines the particularities of this context and presents an educational approach to support cross-disciplinary collaboration that has value in and beyond the context of China.
