The characteristic of urbanization, modernization and it effect on the environment has become a disastrous event especially towards the beginning of 20th Century (C). Researches have shown an excessive exploitation of minerals both on and beneath the earth crust were consume every year for the purpose of construction alone. Thus, not only decrease in volume of earth materials but also the impact on environmental thus need attentions. This study observes that the conversion of material; exploitation; energy used during construction; energy associated with heating; cooling; lighting and ventilating commercial buildings have potential consequence on the environment. A selected study of masterpiece building with philosophy of porous structure, which certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in Nigeria, was reviewed. Finding indicate that conceptual design from the school of thought help in setting reasonable objectives at the designing process stage. Also, energy efficient building will reduce wastage of earth materials with alternate source of natural energy, application of natural element other than artificial during building construction and occupancy stage are mitigation strategies to negate aforementioned effect on the environment. Conceptual frameworks with composite notions from various domains were explored to include concept of porosity from medicine among others was utilized, acceptable for maximum lighting, cross ventilation and circulations. Hence, energy efficiency was achieved which is friendly to the environment.

“…The FBS structure began development in the 1980s, with the concept first being presented in 1988 17 and with the full description being released in 1990 as shown in Figure 1. 15 The FBS structure describes the cognitive states that a designer goes through when realizing a design.…”

An important step in the development of any process is evaluation. Evaluation ensures that the process affects effectiveness, efficiency, or other metrics as designed. Without evaluation, processes must stand solely on the theories, axioms, and/or heuristics that formed them. Outcome or objectives-based evaluations are especially useful in seeing if the expected impact is realized. Systems and design engineering present problems for outcome evaluations due to system design efforts being long in duration, expensive, organization/team specific, and environment/context specific. These characteristics make repeating the same effort under the same conditions using different processes difficult, if not impossible. While a comparison of processes for evaluation in a real application may not be feasible, a simulation of the processes with agents that capture system design behaviors may produce findings to support hypotheses. This paper examines the use of agent-based modeling and simulation to compare pseudo-waterfall and pseudo-agile engineering processes for a simple design problem. The Function–Behavior–Structure (FBS) model of design is used along with empirical data from FBS studies to examine the performance of a two-person design team using pseudo-waterfall and pseudo-agile engineering processes. The results of this exercise show possible advantages of agile-like processes in total time to complete the design.

“…The FBS engineering design model has been developed by several pioneering design engineering researchers [1,2,3]. The model defines four different types of knowledge: artifact function, artifact behavior, artifact structure, and causality between them.…”

This paper proposes a knowledge representation framework for intelligent design platform. The main objective is to develop a schema to represent the explicit as well as the implicit design knowledge, and a method to incorporate it in the design repository. The framework is based on the ontological model composed of the elements: function, behavior, structure and constraint. While structure represents the explicit knowledge of design, function, behavior and constraint incorporate the implicit ones. By an example for injection mold design case, it is shown how and to what extent major intents of a design can be represented.
