Polycentricity is often used descriptively with regard to a regional system of settlements, usually referred to as a polycentric urban region ( PUR). Although presented in much of the literature as in essence a morphological concept, polycentricity p...

The role of philosophical context in the development of theory: Towards methodological pluralism (2007)
Journal Article
Pathirage, C., Amaratunga, R., & Haigh, R. (2007). The role of philosophical context in the development of theory: Towards methodological pluralism. ˜The œbuilt & human environment review, 1(1),

The research strategy dictates the major direction of the research and constitutes one of the important decisions made by the researcher. However, researchers’ understanding on theory at the outset of the research guides the design of the research. T...

The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers (2007)
Journal Article
Koskela, L., & Kagioglou, M. (2007). The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers. Strojarstvo, 49(1), 45-52

It is contended that the ancient method of analysis and synthesis, developed originally by Greek geometers, provides a proto-theory of design, which unfortunately has largely been forgotten in the modern period. For justifying this claim, six centra... Read More about The proto-theory of design : the method of analysis of the ancient geometers.
