摘要：

Architectural massing is the primary sub-set of the early stages of built form creation. In this empirical study, we seek a better understanding of the specific cognitive processes contributing to massing. We found that these processes help the designer improve the management of the overall design process through strategies that facilitate a discourse between designer and her graphic representations. These strategies, which rely on the use of regulating elements, include management of part-whole relationships, design hierarchy, topology-geometry relationships, scaffolding the design process, structuring ill-structured problems, and the restructuring of problem parameters.
