To propose a derivation graph by utilizing Computer modeling to represent the thinking processes in the design of Akkach House that will be demonstrated on the web. 1. Introduction The thinking process for creating som ething that does not y et exist comprises a range of mental activities, from defining the purpose, creating the form and defining the meanings as well as the practicality of form , to adapting an appropriate technique for producing the objects.
