An exercise on a sustainable design aspiration with the situated FBS ontology of designing

Abstract

The paper elaborates John Gero and Udo Kannengiesser's model of designing (situated FBS), which illustrates the process of cognition in designing. In the series of their papers, several examples are built to explain each stage that occurs. This paper contributes to providing another exemplary, explaining the process of cognition in situated FBS. The dry run analysis is used to explore all the stages that occur in the development, with case examples in designing sustainable architecture. The discussion maps an instance of developing ideas with sustainable aspects that include eight processes from situated FBS. This map focuses on the continuity of the processes and their translation. The continuity of existing operations requires several bridging methods, most of which are formed by constructive memories. In order to increase awareness of sustainable design, basic knowledge, design vocabularies, and design success stories that are collected into constructive memory play a significant role in achieving design requirements.
