Abstract: The author develops a method to study how an individual style in architectural design is generated. He explores and explains the possible mechanisms that could influence the formation of a style through a laboratory experiment with an experienced practising architect. Results show that, for this architect, the exercises of personal preference to certain forms; a common set of design constraints, plus some common design rules; certain fixed orders of design goals; and the use of presolution models are the determining factors in his individual style.
