The article analyzes the current practice of mass housing construction. The structure of the existing design algorithm is revealed. The characteristics of a typical design algorithm are determined, the application of which generates the uniformity of space-planning solutions and primitivization of architectural values. Examples of various architectural projects that actualize the concept of archofunction are considered. Archofunction appears as a trigger for a creative design approach. The main directions of further research are indicated.

This paper reviews the current practice for the in-place design of Spar hulls. Both the commonly-used approach and the state-of-the-art procedure for the maximum strength and fatigue conditions will be presented. Key assumptions for various design approaches will be discussed along with advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The review will focus on how each approach generates hydrodynamic loadings, performs global motions analysis, and maps design loads from motion analyses to structural finite-element model. Important aspects relating to Spar design will be addressed. In particular, effect of vortex induced hull motions (VIM) will be discussed, and an approach for including the VIM effect in the design of moorings and risers will also be described. Impact on the maximum strength and fatigue capacity of critical structural components due to the assumptions employed in the commonly-used design approach will be evaluated and quantified as compared to the results from the more rigorous state-of-the-art approach.

In the present communication we report a novel fuzzy based algorithm developed for transformer designing. The Fuzzy Logic Transformer Design Algorithm (FLTDA) incorporates the experience of human transformer designers and builders in terms of minimum of fuzzy rules. It easily accomodates the linguistic design concepts and linguistic values of transformer specifications. The FLTDA allows to use assumptions, approximations, estimations and guess-figures for specifications in the beginning of design-route and adjusts the parameters in iterations yielding optimum design results.As a first attempt towards the development of FLTDA only preliminary results have been worked out in trial designs. Comparison between conventional design method and fuzzy based method is made by working out the typical design problems.

This paper reports on the findings of a study by design graduates on their belief and intention on ethical issues in the creative design industry. The study was conducted at two universities (University A and University B) in Malaysia, which included 120 undergraduates in design. A survey was conducted in which a questionnaire was distributed among respondents to determine their degree of agreement with respect to each argument in the questionnaire. The results of the data showed that the belief and intention of design graduates towards design ethics is poor, with the exception of the respondents of University A who have strong belief towards social, environmental and sustainability issues. These results indicate that a well-structured model of design ethics education and effective teaching mechanism for design ethics education should be in place. These would have an impact on students’ belief and intention towards design ethics. As such, the research results serve as a cornerstone from which the current practice of teaching and learning of design ethics education can be more critically examined, so that more changes can be made to the existing curriculum that can help to develop designers with ethical characteristics.
