Abstract

In this paper the relationship of architectural design and building regulations from Bryan Lawson's perspective is examined. Lawson is one of the prominent scholars who since about four decades ago have suggested that design research be used in drawing up building regulations for architectural design. In this research it was attempted to summarize his attitudes towards this issue. According to Lawson the structural tensions between architectural design and building regulations stem from three factors: over specific regulations, badly framed regulations, and the challenge of anticipation. In order to cope with this problematic characteristics building regulations should be general rather than specific, should focus on performance objectives, and should provide the designers with sample deemed to satisfy solutions.
