碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工程技術研究所建築學程 === 88 === The thinking process of architectural design implies the connection with certain 〝abstract concepts〞. How a designer consider a problem and then stimulate the variety of architecture through a catalyst which produce the design is regarded as black box by which a mysterious field, has been researched necessarily. Within the creating process the related production of concepts are always considered as a prophet, or intuition , that leads to academics in emphasizing disciplines. Through three manipulated cases the research has tried to study the process of concepts and provide some experiences which intrigue some ways in searching concepts to share with everyone on enlightening stage. 1. Cell division－Extension in National Institute of the Arts. 2. Immune system－The future house. 3. A genetic mechanism－Urban housing. Chapter two, Chapter three and Chapter four within the essay collect single case which is divided into three parts to state. First part collect related information which catalyze concepts. Second part states how to use architectural articulations to transform concept into artificial objects. Third part transforms 「concept formation」black box into transparency through reflection and self-examination。The chapter fifth focuses on three cases to analyze and compare their methods which include 「concept catalysis」、「concept formation」and 「concept assess」. The conclusion proposes some personal after-manipulation suggestions about 「design methods which originate from the concept」. Design methods which originate from the concept is not the only way, while the marrow is to prompt mental development through concept, to try to mediate the architecture from the another angle and provide other possibilities to overview the architecture as to provide the designer larger fantastic space on primary conceiving stage. All masters try out every possibilities to conceive the architecture in the past ten centuries, while this generation who face new coming century seem to try to discovery something-worthy and the thinking pattern from the concept provided chance for contemporary generation.
