Abstract
Theoretical backgrounds of environmental design as a special design area have numerous gaps, therefore, the subject of research — conceptual modelling process — is highly challenging. The goal of the study is to explore the content and to develop a model for the management of conceptual modelling in environmental design. The hypothesis of the research suggests that effective management can be ensured by influencing the key homeostatic conflict between structural elements of conceptual modelling. In the course of the work, the following methods were applied: "Simple Compensatory Homeostasis"; "Expanded Compensatory Homeostasis". Outcomes: a system of models showing conceptual modelling in environmental design; a model for managing the conceptual modelling in environmental design. Conclusions: effective management of this process can be based on the principles of homeostasis through the impact on the key conflict that emerges and operates between its elements. The outcomes can be applied: in scientific theory — to understand the process of conceptual modelling in environmental design; in methodology — to contribute to the development of the environmental design methods by involving homeostatic ones; in practice — to develop a methodology for conceptual modelling in environmental design as a special design area.
