Geometry in architectural design models is often treated primarily as a tool for form generation, with limited attention to its cognitive and epistemological roles. This study analyzes architectural design process models to examine how geometry operates within design thinking and to explore the formulation of a conceptual framework.
A qualitative approach based on Grounded Theory Method (GTM) was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 prominent architects and professors. The interview transcripts were analyzed using ATLAS.ti, applying open, axial, and selective coding to identify key concepts and relationships, leading to the development of a conceptual model.
Findings indicate that geometry is not merely a form-making tool but a language for understanding, organizing, and realizing architecture. Its role is shaped by cultural-historical, philosophical-epistemological, aesthetic, educational-professional, and environmental factors. Based on the analysis, a five-stage geometric model—comprising geometric cognition, perception, organization, transformation, and realization—was proposed, representing the design process as an evolutionary and iterative path from internalizing geometry to spatial realization.
The proposed model positions geometry as a structural foundation that integrates functional, conceptual, and spatial elements of the design process. It also synthesizes three established design frameworks, including design thinking, Lawson’s three-stage model, and Alexander’s pattern-based approach, within a coherent geometric logic. This study provides a novel perspective on architectural design as a process of geometric transformation and offers a theoretical and practical framework that can inform design education, the development of geometry-based digital tools, and the enhancement of contemporary architectural design practices.
