“…Three paradigms emerged from these movements within design; technology-driven design, environmentally sustainable design and user-centered design (UCD) (Giacomin, 2014). As previously mentioned, this study focuses on user-centered design, which mandates the involvement of all the stakeholders who will utilize the final artifact when the design is complete (Bate, 2007;Norman, 1988;Pascal, Thomas, & Romme, 2013;Taffe, 2015).…”

“…The process that designers use when implementing a UCD approach helps them recognize the influence of users on how the design takes its shape (Endsley & Jones, 2011;Giacomin, 2015;Lowdermilk, 2013;Lucila & Alejandro, 2012;Sanders & Stappers, 2012). The concept concentrates on the need to involve all the stakeholders who will have actual interaction with the final artifact, when the design is complete (Bate, 2007;Norman, 1988;Pascal et al, 2013;Taffe, 2015). This prioritizes human needs, behaviors, and capabilities, followed by considerations of design that will accommodate these aspects.…”

“…Participatory design emerged in the design field in the early 1970's (Bjögvinsson, Ehn, & Hillgren, 2012). While user-centered design focuses on the user as a subject, participatory design (PD) engages them as partners (Bate, 2007;Pascal et al, 2013;Taffe, 2015). It originated from Scandinavian countries' movements, to democratize work places (Bjögvinsson et al, 2012;Robertson & Simonsen, 2012;Vainio, 2016), and it required cooperation between end users and professional system developers (Bjögvinsson et al, 2012).…”

“…Specifically, co-design is the creative work that occurs between designers and nondesigners in the design process, which is the instance of co-creation (Taffe, 2015). Cocreation happens when an act of collective creativity occurs.…”

“…According to Taffe, the co-design process consists of three main phases: exploring, designing, and reviewing (Taffe, 2015). In the exploring stage, designers or researchers primarily collect end-user information through surveys or focus groups.…”

The main aim of this thesis is to investigate generative design methods to identify user's latent issues in terms of challenges, concerns, and desires to design a user-centric architectural design project.Particularly this study employed qualitative research method with a user-centered design (UCD) approach in a healthcare facility located in Petawawa, as an example. While UCD has been applied in the field of Industrial Design for years, architects claim to shape people's lives, yet the user is often not involved enough in the architecture design process.The challenge faced translates to an Investigation of a Generative Design Method that Enhances the Architectural Design of a Healthcare Facility Using a Qualitative Research Method.by proposing the three generative design tools. Employing a UCD approach may decrease the gap between architects and users by identifying the expert users' hidden and unmet needs, resulting in a user-centric design.iii
