CREATIVE DESIGN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CORRECT CHANGE VERSUS ASSESSING DESIGN SOLUTION RELEVANCE

Abstract

Experience-based research in architecture aimed at perfecting design praxis typically begins with an informed identification of the problem and goal. It therefore becomes necessary to postulate a verification of assessment criteria by introducing a verification and revision mechanism into their formulation. Correct – relevant – solutions are those which meet assessment criteria, which means that the assessments of the modification problem solutions comply with the pattern produced by the solution. In unique cases, as they are cases with the most severe consequences, criteria need to be formulated on a case-specific basis. The author wishes to describe this property, namely to define the sense of relevance as an attribute of research.
