... Placing the inherent power of BPS in architectural hands is thought to both facilitate and streamline the design decision-making process; whereby design decisions are supported by quantitative measures of performance instead of qualitative rules of thumb, or subjective opinions of aesthetics. 4 Realizing this aspiration is regarded to be part of the evolutionary role of architectural education (Doelling and Nasrollahi 2013). The counter-argument, that BPS should be left to simulation experts who work with, or collaborate with architects is supported by MacDonald et al. (2005), Bleiberg and Shaviv (2007), Hitchcock and Wong (2011), Grinberg and Rendek (2013), Viola and Roudsari (2013), Alsaadani and Bleil De Souza (2012 to name a few. This view originates from the position that, in reality within the building industry, architects seldom perform simulation themselves, and instead tend to collaborate with specialists in the BPS field, becoming 'consumers' of simulation, to overcome limitations in knowledge, time and praxis, amongst other practical constraints. ...
