A New Method for Architecture Space Design Based on Substance-Field Analysis

Abstract

Research about novel methods in the architectural design process can enlarge design researches. Structured design methods can make the design process more organized and learnable. Substance-Field (Su-field) Analysis is a TRIZ analytical tool for modeling problems related to existing technological systems. Meanwhile, the space concept is vital in architecture. This paper aims to present Human-Field (Hu-field) Analysis method based on Su-field Analysis and general solutions for more effective architecture space design. A controlled experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of this method by measuring idea quality and quantity.
