Introduction to Human’s Requirements

Human needs diverse requirements in his living environment; which all

of his requirements should be answered in the built environment.

Principles of Building Design Performance (BDP) are used in

architecture to organize or arrange structures and to create a successful

building or environment.

Based on research of CUFF, D. (1991), the built architectural environment is a

place that able to address

Human’s

Requirements/Motivation

Physical and Functional

Attributes

It is conducted six month preliminary study to define the proposal:

Introduction to BDP

In the past architects used to mainly focus on functionality and aesthetics.

Building design has evolved to also include ergonomic and sustainable

design principles.

Institutions teach different sets of principles regarding building

design, but all of them have the same goals in mind: (Weston, 2000)

Visually Attractive Environment-friendlyUser-friendly

To create structures that are

Introduction to Self-Selection

There are lots of definition on

self-selection in the field of

Travel Behavior research, argued

by Cao, X., Handy, S. and

Mokhtarian, P.L. (2006) and

Bagley, M.N., and

Mokhtarian, P.L. (2002).

In this research, we argue that Self-selection may be a key for better

understanding of people’s choices that are relevant for human behavior

in building design.

of self-selection

Problem Statement

Preliminary investigation on human

values shows the absence of

assessment consideration of self-

respect in building design.

The architects of Intelligent

Building, Green Building and so on

have designed them without any

concentrating on effects of human

values as one of the important

criteria in their design.(Hakim et al.

2011)

It neglected to study self-selection as

self-respect criteria in a scientific

method in BDP assessment.

This research has focused on

Self-selection to enhance

Building Design Performance

(BDP) in consideration of human

values.

Needs In Practice

Aim & Research Question

The aim of this research is:

To assess consideration of self-selection in Building Design

Performance (BDP)

At the end of this research the question of below should be

answered:

How to assess consideration of self-selection in Building Design

Performance (BDP)?

To investigate Building Design Performance (BDP) criteria

Objectives

To investigate measurement metrics of self-selection

To evaluate correlation between self-selection with

Building Design Performance (BDP)

To establish design assessment model based on

consideration of self-selection

Scope ... Up to Now

By considering Johor Bahru in Malaysia as the research area, the

focus is on the local culture

The Scope of this study has several limitations

Any specific country has individuality of building design

Time limit will be the beginning of the 21st century

Assuming all the physical and psychological aspects are covered in

residential buildings design

Schwartz's (2005a)twelve types of universal values are:

Power, Achievement, Hedonism, Stimulation, Self-

direction, Universalism, Benevolence, Tradition, Conformity, Security, Financial

Success and Respect.

It is all to manage “Human Values” in “Building Performance Criteria”

Research Gap

Since 1980’s, the operational based future generation of buildings

introduced; IB, GB, LEB, ZEB and HPB.

Rokeach’s (1973) seven factors in values are: Immediate

gratification, Competence, Self-Constriction, Social orientation, Respect

(Social recognition, Self-respect), Inner-directed.

Research Gap

Consequently, there is lack of consideration of Self-respect as well as

Self-selection.

Concluding purview BPE criteria, there is lack of consideration of human

values in BDP also.

Significance Of Study

It is expected to investigate and introduce Building Design Performance

(BDP)’s criteria

Objective 1

It is expected to investigate measurement metrics of self-selection

Objective 2
