“…Although several methods for studying intuition have been proposed (Sinclair, 2014), intuition in creativity might be the least studied area (Dörfler & Ackermann, 2012). As opposed to other creative domains such as industrial design (Faste, 2017), haute cuisine (Stierand & Dörfler, 2015) and architecture (Çizgen & Uraz, 2019), research on intuition in graphic design is limited (Darwich, 2016). In addition, it is often studied indirectly as part of heuristics and design fixation (Kannengiesser & Gero, 2019) and (other) non-conscious influences on design (Badke-Schaub & Eris, 2014).…”

Graphic design is a specialized form of creative practice in which images, typography, texts, shapes and other visual elements are created, selected, developed and integrated to form a coherent whole that conveys an intended message and user experience. Anecdotal evidence suggests that intuition is critical in this practice, but exactly how graphic designers rely on their intuition to support their creative design process is poorly understood. Using cultural probes and semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study evidences how twelve professional graphic designers relied on intuition as what we will call an ephemeral facility. Intuition was discerned as a feeling that briefly enters into consciousness and reinforces ongoing, nonconscious decision making, or causes a shift toward conscious reasoning strategies. The study reports how the graphic designers applied intuition throughout their creative design process--for obtaining and selecting information from clients, filling in informational gaps, envisioning a starting point and guiding subsequent actions and evaluations necessary for developing the design. This offers new empirically based insight into the role and relevance of intuition for progressing the creative graphic design process, including the social and material interactions therein.

“…Regionalism aimed to restore lost architectural identity and meaning against modernism's placelessness attitude. Theories like Place Theory assert that space evolves into a place when people imbue it with meaning (Çizgen, 2012;Uraz & Balamir, 2006), resonating with architectural design where context's meaning emerges through people's experiences, creating a sense of belonging and dialogue within architectural elements defining spaces.…”

Context and technology have significantly shaped architectural design throughout history, with contextuality playing a vital role in assigning meaning to designs. In light of computational tools and algorithms that revolutionize architectural design, enabling intricate and complex building geometries within shorter timeframes and heightened efficiency, this study aims to underscore the potential of algorithmic façade design. It focuses on contextual integration, utilizing the Newari lattice window as a foundational element for design exploration. The study employed computational modeling with parametric tools, scripting, and generative algorithms to create digital models that reflect the Newari lattice window pattern and fractal geometry. It utilized Text-Based Language (TBLs) like Python and Visual-Based Language (VBLs) like Grasshopper for visual experimentation and precision. Demonstrated through the re-design of the façade of the existing commercial building, Civil Mall, a significant building in Kathmandu Valley’s urban landscape, the research showcases algorithmic prowess in seamlessly integrating traditional Newari wisdom into intricate geometrical patterns. By transcending manual methods through recursion, iteration, randomness, and embracing unforeseen possibilities, the study establishes a foundational reference, enriching Nepal's architectural discourse beyond the traditional versus modern binary. This might be helpful in fostering a distinctive modern architectural language unique to Nepal. The study holds potential for further research on the prevailing traditional architectural forms and geometry in the country.
