Abstract

The nagging problem of the long design time in the architectural practice has been with the architects from time immemorial. In recent times, the volume of information to be handled in practice has become unimaginable for the mind which is the base of creativity. However, the mind's operations are enshrouded in obscurity or exclusive process. The design process in the mind therefore is described as black box design method. The limited capacity and capability of the mind and the reasons why a mind supportive system is needed to reinforce the mind. This has been done in form of design guide for the computer to externalize the activities if the mind. This guide makes the design approach a glass box design method. The new system is sealed with the theory of elevation appreciation which will be used to protect architectural practice and to ward off potential usurpers.
