The grounded theory method expresses the value of daily life demonstrated by architectural composition. A spatial analysis of a phenomenon in an issue may create a new substantive theory/concept. By elaborating literature, grounded theory methodology emphasizes human behaviour patterns. It is best when combined with a comprehensive observation, in depth interview and architectural drawing. While its structural analysis exposes social phenomena, an investigation may reveal the problem, gathering daily impressions and feelings towards architecture. The operational step are; 1. Data collection: 1) Observation, drawing and mapping, 2) In depth interviews, transcripts and memos; 2. Data analysis: 1) Open coding, 2) Axial coding, 3) Selective coding, 4) Constant comparison analysis, 5) Core category, 6) Negative case analysis, 7) Theoretical note (Theoretical coding), 8) Theoretical sensitivity, 9) Theoretical sampling, 10) Theoretical saturation, 11) Validity, 12) Theoretical memo (“Memoing”), 13) Hypothesis; before finally formulating a new theory/concept.
