19. Initial Framework Diagram
Question:
Please present a diagram of the proposed framework as you initially conceive it.
You need:
- Framework development literature
- AIA 10 Principles
- Biophilic design
- Historic preservation
- Adaptive reuse
- Design process stages
Your existing table:
AIA Principles × Biophilia × Preservation × Adaptive Reuse
should be extended to:
Design Stages × AIA × Biophilia × Preservation × Adaptive Reuse
20. Delphi Stage
Question:
For the Delphi stage, describe in detail what and how you plan to present to the Delphi panel.
You need strong literature on:
- Delphi methodology
- Expert panels
- Expert selection
- Consensus
- Delphi rounds
- Questionnaires
- Rating scales
- Feedback
- Consensus thresholds
- Stopping criteria
You must define:
What will the panel receive?
For example:
- Framework diagram
- Matrix
- Design strategies
- Case study findings
- Criteria
And:
What exactly will they evaluate?
21. How Designers Will Use the Framework
Question:
Describe how you see the framework being used by designers or others involved in historic preservation.
You need:
- Design decision-making
- Framework application
- Heritage practice
But primarily you need a clear use scenario.
For example:
Existing Building
↓
Heritage Assessment
↓
Context Assessment
↓
Biophilic Opportunities
↓
Identify Conflicts
↓
Select Strategies
↓
Evaluate
↓
Refine
22. Government and Regulatory Agencies
Question:
Historic preservation has connections to local, national, and international government and regulatory agencies. How will you include this in the framework?
You need literature on:
- Heritage governance
- Historic preservation regulations
- Heritage policy
- UNESCO principles
- Saudi heritage regulations
- Local/national/international regulatory frameworks
You must determine how regulations become:
Inputs / Constraints / Criteria / Decision points
within the framework.
23. Community and Neighborhood Context
Question:
Will your framework include contextual considerations such as sense of community, regional and local culture, and surrounding neighborhood?
You need strong literature on:
- Sense of place
- Place attachment
- Community
- Contextual design
- Local culture
- Regional culture
- Social sustainability
- Community knowledge
Then explain how you will collect this knowledge:
- Interviews?
- Observation?
- Documents?
- Case studies?
- Community sources?
24. What Exactly Is the Knowledge Framework?
Question:
Will the final framework be a decision-making model, matrix, workflow, taxonomy, or another organizational structure?
You need:
- Knowledge framework literature
- Decision-making models
- Matrices
- Taxonomies
- Workflows
- Design frameworks
But most importantly:
You need to make a decision about your own framework.
You should be able to say exactly what it is and why.
25. Explicit, Tacit, and Procedural Knowledge
Question:
How will these forms of knowledge be identified, analyzed, and synthesized into the framework?
You need strong literature on:
- Explicit knowledge
- Tacit knowledge
- Procedural knowledge
- Knowledge management
- Knowledge synthesis
- Architectural knowledge
Then explain:
Literature/Documents → Explicit Knowledge
Interviews/Experience → Tacit Knowledge
Design Process → Procedural Knowledge
Then:
All three → Structured Architectural Knowledge → Framework
26. Immersive Case Study / Redesign
Question:
Is the redesign primarily a research method for generating knowledge, a means of testing the framework, or an illustration of its application?
You need:
- Case study methodology
- Research Through Design
- Design as research
- Design evaluation
- Immersive research
You must clearly define the role of the redesign:
Knowledge generation?
Framework evaluation?
Framework application?
Or a clearly defined combination.
You also need to identify the outputs:
- Drawings
- Models
- Diagrams
- Design strategies
- Evaluation data
- Refined framework
27. Community, Context-Specific Biophilia, and Practical Validation
This final comment actually contains three major questions.
A. Community as Heritage
You need:
- Living heritage
- Intangible cultural heritage
- Community heritage
- Social value
- Cultural continuity
- Lived experience
- Participatory heritage
You need to explain how residents are treated as knowledge holders and part of the heritage, not simply as future users.
