Architectural design is an activity which requires many participants to integrate and manage a large volume of information. Design communication is necessary and important in the collaborative design process. This study is motivated to understand how designers present design information in the of form of visual representations. This study aims to discuss how the visual representations can be transmitted by communcation media by designers in the design process. The scope of study includes the schematic design, design developement, and construction document stages of the design process. This study is focusing on design communication in terms of theoretic model, representations, and technology. Based on the communication theory, this study explore communication patterns between senders and receivers, and design contents including themes and representations. The reseach method includes the classification of representation forms, design case studies, and questionaire studies. The result of this study is to establish a design communicating model, and the findings indicate that the design commumication is correlated with design thinking. There are clear representation used in different design stages, designers often use the 'words & figures' form for representing their thinking in design phase, and the consequence explains that the forms of representation is related with communication tools. Because computers are widely applied to design fields, how computer-based tools and digital media influence design communication should be studied in the future. |
