ABSTRACT
The objective was to investigate whether qualitative as well as quantitative environmental factors can be:
Assessed in use
Integrated into formula financing
Blended into a form which is readily useable to architect and the client in the building design process.
It was concluded that only by revamping the building design process can the introduction of qualitative factors be assured. Architectural planning must be perceived as a continuing process rather than the production of a finite product. Therefore, the paper focuses on development of such a process.
