Human error; Architectural design; Evolutive context
Abstract :
[en] In architectural design process, the human error has a particular status. The later it is detected, the
more expensive it is. Moreover, some errors can not be detected given the current state of the design
process and object definition. In this paper, we propose a model based on cognitive theories about
human errors, applied to architectural preliminary design. In this model we classify the consequences
of a design decision (direct, indirect, detected and undetected), we describe the steps of decision in
architecture in relation to the process of errors detection and we introduce the concept of evolutive
context.
