Abstract
Literature studies reveal that interpreting the problem-structuring process revolving around wicked problems is under explored. With an intention to address this issue, this study aims to analyze students’ problem-structuring processes through mixed methods such as quantitative, qualitative, focus group studies. This is achieved through decoding the synthesis, comprehension of students’ processes and emergent outcomes through diverse perspectives namely, students, intra-rater and inter-raters. The nature based exercises make small components of the whole for the Basic Design Studio of first year of undergraduate studies in Architecture at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai during the academic session from August 2023 to January 2024. Natural object based exercises can assist in progressive learning and directions to structure open-ended tasks for academicians and give insight for students into their individual processes through reflective thinking methods. This will help design educators frame generative basic design tasks to enhance students’ thinking skills, comprehension and synthesis leading to creativity with appropriate reasoning.
