Credit system and the performance of architectural designers; with an emphasis on the perceptive of Allameh Tabatabai

The credit system is in the focal point of the attention of the design philosophy. The main purpose of the research is to identify the view point of the Allameh Tabatabai, for analyzing the functions of the credit system and perceptual device, in architectural design process. It is to improve the performance of designers and architects.

The process of perception has been explained by the philosophers in a more comprehensive way than other related sciences. Meanwhile, the problem of the existence and the way of formation of the basic assumptions of the perceptual system is the challenging problem of the research. The logical argumentation research paradigm, the descriptive-documentary methodology have been adopted with qualitative-quantitative research approaches to outline the the view point of the Allameh Tabatabai.

The findings of the research show that understanding the phenomena and the process of transforming human's peripheral and internal contents into knowledge is an extremely multifaceted and wide-ranging issue. What and how we think are among the desiners’ dellima toward architectural design process, but most of the experts in the field of design and architecture have also shown favor to the view point of the Allameh Tabatabai.

Allameh Tabatabai confirmed the existence of this important sub-system in the mental system and described the process of its formation in a completely argumentative philosophical statement. He named this knowledge package the “credit system” and recognizes it as one of the sub-sections of the perception system as a part of conceptual recognition system.
