Reflections on Potential of Möbius Pattern for Progressing Process of Conceptualization

Architects most often strive to find effective patterns which help them to progress through the process of conceptualization, that is, travel from their subjective basic ideas to objective preliminary formal configuration. Möbius band, as a kind of topological surfaces has outstanding potentials for being employed in different manner in order to develop creative architectural concepts. Employing Möbius band for orchestrating program of project through process of conceptualization is one the most creative way for utilization of this pattern for progressing architectural concepts. In spite of this remarkable capability, the potential of Möbius band for arranging program of project through the process of conceptualization has remained relatively unnoticed. Thus, the main aim of this qualitative documentary paper is to addresses the notable potential of Möbius band for arranging program of the project in order to develop creative architectural concepts. In so doing, the Möbius House as an appropriate case has been investigated. The required data has been collected through literature survey and document analysis techniques. The collected data has been analyzed and elaborated by descriptive-analytic method. The findings illustrated that in case of Möbius House during its process of conceptualization, the Möbius band has been occupied as an effective pattern for diagramming the movement flow of ۲۴-hour cycle of daily life comprising regular activities of living, working and sleeping
