The proposal solution in order to deal with the complexity of contemporary life and on the other hand, prioritizing the satisfaction of the human who is looking for comfortable life is to put simplicity and complexity together in a same system of style and title it “SIMPLEXSITY”
This file can describe how to select architectural concept and explain about different kinds of architectural concepts with their influence on the design process.
In this theory the form is outcome of various physical, social, psychological and symbolic functions
For example if we want to design concert hall, the form will be the abstract of functional data which is defined by the distance of the seats the place of foyer the relation between all functions and also a symbolic appearance of the building. In this type of design the context of the building is not considered and we can put the designed project in different sites and places with no attention to the contextual matters. In this theory architects must act like a scientist. It means that they have to find some form in a body of pre existing facts. So it can be named as kind of true and false game. The designer will do its job according to client`s needs climatological conditions and community values. The difference is here that architects cannot define general lows for the design solution as like as the scientists do.

Analysis and Comparative case Study " Evaluating the sense of privacy Between Traditional And Contemporary Houses In Iraq".
The house is the important thing in our life. the building usually is design according to the thoughts of family who live in this house.
their thoughts were created based on cultural prescriptive which related to some traditional issues like privacy, family hospitality and spirituality . All of these issues were emerged in domestic spaces .
Hassan Fathy defined culture as “the result of the interaction between man and his environment when man attempts to satisfy his physical and spiritual needs.”
before the industrial revolution, the traditional house was able to achieve the needs of last period. and after that, the ways of living around the whole world have become in continuous change, which led to produce different patterns that weren't based on the social needs.
In additionally, traditional achieved the spiritual level which are about the socio- cultural aspirations of the community and the individuals, .
the real problem that appeared after the revolution was belong to the wrong use of industrial products in houses without any methodology.
Traditional rules impacted on human behavior , thus led to effect on spatial organization that based on social practice, the house obtained different contents, idea , message. this is due to the impact of the culture.
It is difficult to change tradition in conservation country which controlled by traditional rules and Islamic thoughts (like separating between women and men), these beliefs decide the design process ,and the house usually are evaluated according to the degree of achievement these rules.
The mythical man month was first published in 1975, and I am amazed how relevant it is today even after so many advanced in technology. The book and my course at MIT encouraged me to define the principles of architecture for my reference.
More than ever, there’s the subconscious idea, among the architects and aspiring architects’ community, that the practice of architectural design is a separate entity from its theorization, with the depreciation of the latter. The reasons behind the implementation of this idea are several and derive from different origins. The most common one is the very aspiration of the architecture student who “wants to fit into a studio, not analyzing other possibilities” (Cruz, p. 56).
In this field, there are multiple statements I may quote, from my experience as an architecture student (1995-2001), in which a given theory teacher was despised “for only having designed a gate in his life” or an architectural design one was despised for “being a theoretician”.
More than being a merely empirical (but critical) verification of a generalized idea, certain thinkers reinforce it, mentioning that the researcher architect is regarded derogatorily as if he didn’t have the skill to design, while the ideal architectural design teacher is the one who has professional success as an architect (Gänshirt, 2007, p. 7).

The architectural message can be transmitted through different channels. The visitor receives information through his/her visual, tactile, olfactory, or acoustical senses. The visual sense is known as the most influential one. If we consider architecture as a tool for communication, then, the importance of attracting visual senses comes out, and this attraction can be done by image. Since the past till now, the image in different terms and perceptions has tries to transferred this message. This was done with different tools, elements and materials. Using visual materials allows to better match the respondent`s perception to possible stimuli. Here, we want to look to the concept of image according to its material.

The Power of Collaborative IntelligenceLili Gulbert
The ongoing global transition in our world transforms the economical, political and social systems unpredictably. This complex progress challenges our deep assumptions and views about our future and about the journey what leads us there. A transition like this knocks down structures and blurs the linear boundaries and creates complex phenomena which include the possibilities of the future. Uncertainty drives us to step out from our outdated belief systems and explore, understand and modell these possibilities through experiencing, and the joint evolution of these possibilities is going to form future's new structures. A part of this in-between state to explore through deep understanding who are the real architect of the meanings of new phenomena, who reshape our world.
This talk looks at challenges we face exploring, understanding, building and leading systemic transitions in the continuously changing economic environment.
The presentation is based on the case study of the “Collaborative Business Model” development of BNP Paribas Securities Services Hungary which was focused on collaborative intelligence building. Thanks to their successful transition, the bureau won the best relationship management & client service award at the ABEM Global Excellence Awards 2017.
Co-speaker was György Cselényi, CEO, BNP Paribas Securities Services Hungary.

The expansion model of business and our global economy have created a culture of consumption. Users around the world are being encouraged to adapt new technologies and their related products. Our complicated systems caused huge traps in our societies from abuse of shared resource, beating the rules, and seeking the wrong goals. These current forms of global capitalism are ecologically and socially unsustainable. All these deprivations are causing in resentments and many unsustainable behaviors against the collective concerns of the societies. Therefore, these critical areas are necessary domain for designer’s active participation.
This journal explores how sustainable behavior context could harmonize the individual concerns of the citizens with collective concerns of the society, so in the long term prevent the mentioned traps in our systems. Through studying our natural capital, frameworks, and system thinking the journal investigates the requirement for enabling people to live as they like, but in a sustainable pattern.
There are different groups of frameworks that can help designers that all share the nature as model and mentor. Everything in nature is about optimization; there is no waste or discrimination. So, these models are our blueprint to reach to a sustainable future. The journal commences with introducing sustainability and sustainable behavior context. Then related history, theories, and influential leaders are described. Based on sustainable behavior goals, concept of Natural Capitalism, related frameworks, and system thinking will be presented. Finally, crucial elements in practicing sustainable behavior and related case studies will be discussed.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

4. HUMAN IS LOOKING FOR COMFORT
HUMAN IS COMPLEX CREATURE
LOOKING FOR SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
LOOKING FOR CHANGE
5. We are now living in the era of change, with a broad field of
opportunities and selections. In this wide and infinite field, the
change is not a force, the change is a choice. With this concept, the
question pops up “how would be the society with this much of
change in humanistic way?” human is living in a space, space in
different scales and qualities, indoor space, outdoor space. The
requirement of today`s lifestyle is a kind of space which can be
responsive to wide variety of change and parallel to this it must
fulfill the comfortability requirements of the user.
7. STYLE
Chan (1995) in his article about the cognitive theory of style,
describes the style as an operation which is defined by distinctive
and recognizable mode of design that repeatedly manipulated in
the design process and thus generates common features at the
design product. This is the beginnings of creation of a style.
9. Simplicity in Design
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Leonardo Da Vinci
Simplicity in design may be misunderstood with minimal design
which has come to represent a style and as such is limited in its
usefulness. It represents a reaction to complexity whereas
simplicity relies on an understanding of the complex. This is an
important difference. One is about the surface, about the stuff. The
other is about our experience and requires a deep appreciation of
how things work so as to make them just simple enough.
10. Complexity in Design
Only complex organizations can tackle complex problems
(Rego, 2010)
We all become increasingly intelligent designers of increasingly
complex processes. But we also carry our past, our traditions, our
histories, which limit our free choice of future solutions, with us.
Complexity then came to be viewed as associated with progress:
growing complexity meant increasing specialization. In this
perspective, complexity existed by design.
(Miguel Pina & Rego, 2010)
11.
12. Simplexity
1. Referring to an idea, or concept that appears to be simple to
understand, yet is very complex in its true description.
2. This is the concept of making something so simple that it
actually becomes complex.
3. Simplexity: Simple solutions for today's complex lifestyles
The concept of Simplexity was improved in the mid 1970's by Bruce
Schiff and restated as the process by which nature strives towards
simple ends by complex means.
13. The theory of simplexity is an emerging concept that proposes a
possible complementary relationship between complexity and
simplicity. As Jeffrey Kluger (2008) describes, the way we, as human
beings, experience complexity is quite important. Things from the
outside can look complicated, but in fact can be astonishingly
simple. This is the world of the paradox.
“A houseplant may be more sophisticated than a manufacturing
plant and a sentence may be richer than a book”. (Kluger, 2008)
14. Simplexity in Design systems
In different styles the form is the mean to represent the image,
which manifests the characteristics of that style, but how the
designer reaches to the specific forms is questionable. Design by
conception, is it a matter of getting rid of stone to create
monumental form as Michael angel wants to point it or perhaps it is
about technology and optimization and function?
If form is to follow function how is that function tested, evaluated,
validated according to whom and by which criteria. The process of
design traditional perspective acts as a process of manufacturing. It
means that the same process can be applicable to different projects
and the outcome will be the same with minority of differences
according to their sudden changes which was the outcome of mass
production and Fordism society (Schumacher, 2007).
15. Ordos Art & City Museum, MAD Architects
The complexity which we can find in the
process of design itself needs to be simplified
and manifest itself in the envelope of building.
we can analyze how complex is the formation
of each piece on the envelope of the building
but the whole geometry gives simple and
readable outcome.
16. Conclusion
The term simplexity when popped up in management, was not
supposed to spread in different disciples, but as we scrutinize in its
meaning and potentials even in art or architecture, we face infinite
definitions and descriptions that are going to generate a unique
manifestation triggering the upcoming simplexity of technology and
parallel to this making life comfortable and simple for the dwellers.
Professor Peter Wipperman proposed a social definition of
simplexity:
"We long for simplicity and satisfaction. Simplexity therefore
stands for a balance between the growing complexity of daily
life and our own personal satisfaction. In order to attain this
state, we have to stop always striving to make optimal
decisions. In the future, it will be more important to make
judgments that are just good enough."
