Abstract

The beginning of any creative design event has always been accompanied by questions in the designer's mind; Because this ups and downs and full of ambiguity, which includes different stages and activities, leads the designer to multiple answers, each of which includes obvious and hidden angles of the subject. In this sense, the design process in each of the topics and stages is fraught with challenges. But what is particularly important in this direction is the starting point of the design and the ideation stage, which results in the formation of the primary generator as the idea and the coherence of the design. In this regard, taking advantage of the effects of the context and design context can be considered as a very important and influential starting point in the architectural design process. However, the effects of the design context and context can be considered as a very important and influential starting point in the architectural design process. In view of the above, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining and analyzing the contextualism indicators in the design process. Using in-depth interviews with experts in the field of architecture and urban planning, including university professors and professional architects, the characteristics of contextualism extracted from the studies of the first step of research in the design process were analyzed; Finally, the results indicate the impact of physical, spatial and material qualities as well as human, social and cultural dimensions of the existing context. However, the influence of other characteristics of the field in this important can not be denied.
