This paper presents preliminary results from a protocol study of the cognitive behavioral
differences of designers working in a parametric design environment and in a traditional
geometry modeling environment. Eight architects participated in the experiment where they
were required to complete two design sessions, one in each environment. The protocols are
coded using the function-behavior-structure (FBS) coding scheme. Results show that the
designers’ cognitive behavior is not significantly affected by the computer environment they
are using.This paper presents preliminary results from a protocol study of the cognitive behavioral
