| Abstract |
This paper reveals that several core factors regarding type theory are exhausted by European arguments that are mainly focused on culture based morphological views that do not deliver social and cultural aspects. Moreover, existing theory based on the concept of architectural type did not demonstrated the architect's design behavior. On the other hand, experimental approach to the concept of architectural type had no interest in the actual problem solving tasks.Nevertheless, no previous work specifically examined the contrasting factors between the concept of architectural typology and its problem-solving role in the actual design process. Despite its long history as a theory, however, the core essence of the concept differed because the interest in architectural typology transformed by society, place and time and thereby, its position as an architectural theory remained unstable.Therefore, this research designed a questionnaire to explore contemporary practicing architect's and designer's understanding on building typology and its actual influence on the design process to elevate the pragmatical charismatics as a design method. |
