Design methods have multiple roles during the design of an artifact such as: stimulus, creative catalysis, process ordering, information facilitation, performance evaluation, representation among many others. In this context, the dissertation
presents an analysis of the types of design methods in the computational environment, which consists of the application and use of process models, techniques and design tools in architecture. The analysis was based on a theoretical reference framework focused on creative processes and delimited by the early phases of the design concept, which was focused on the construction of creative
thinking, communication as a basis for co-creation, and technologies for design While working platform. The experiment was aimed at analyzing the behavior of participants in a project situation in order to identify the types of methods used in the project practice. From the analysis of the methods presented in practice and based on the references, it is underst...
