Abstract
Considering the acceptance of culture as the principle predictorof understanding housing elements, including religious and
behavioral patterns, is becoming increasingly important. This understanding can be clearly visualized in a city such as Kerman.
Kerman is located in South-East of Iran andhas a diverse culture witha residential district in which Muslims, Zoroastrians, and
Jews liveside by side in harmony. In this paper, the impact of religious and behavioral patterns on the interactive structure of
houses, which belong to the followers of the above mentioned religions, will be explained.The results of this study could be used
as a practical guideline and framework by the planners who are organizing approachesfor designing and renovating buildings in
these districts. The paper implements a combinationalresearch method using documentation, field study, interviews, observation
and logical reasoning in order to discuss the matter of privacy and hospitality and its impacts on formation of the houses.
Furthermore, apart from the study of ethnography, the paper demonstratesthe fact that there are at least two impressive layers
affecting the traditional architectural housing in Kerman. The first layer is derived from the dominant cultural patterns of
privacy respecting the rights of neighbors and hospitality that are acceptable by all religions.Adhering to these two principles is
practical even today. Moreover, the second layer affecting the architectural housing of the Jews and Zoroastrians is derived from
their traditions and religious beliefs.

Abstract
Different approaches and methods are used in the architecture design process that logical and intuitional methods are the most common ones. The role of knowledge in each method is different. Investigating aspects of knowledge demonstrated the hierarchy from data to wisdom and the interaction of explicit and tacit types, subjective and objective sources, and analytical and exploratory ways of processing knowledge. Logical methods rely more on explicit and objective knowledge with analysis, while intuitive methods rely more on tacit and subjective knowledge that processed by exploratory ways. To investigate the difference between the two methods, we conducted a survey that involved architecture students in two groups of logical and intuitive methods. Results demonstrated that they have different opinions about the role of each type of knowledge, the importance of knowledge in each step of the design process, and the role of sources of information in their design process. We concluded that an integrative method that considers different aspects and integrated interactions of all aspects of knowledge is needed..

Abstract
Designers rely much heavily on experience. Previously, it was assumed that particular developmental experiences are correlated with creativity which develops over time and with experience. The aim of this study is to explore whether design expertise definitely improves the creativity of design idea in architectural design. To test the hypothesis, some architectural designers at different levels of expertise, from novice students to expert architects, participated in a design task. The novelty and quality of design ideas were evaluated as the signs of creativity. The results indicated that there are significant relations between design expertise with the quality, but not with the novelty of design ideas. The expert designers preferred to find ideas that have practical solutions to the design problem, but novices looked for original ideas. We concluded that design experience influences the creative ideation, but have different effects on various aspects of design creativity.
