Summary/Abstract: This paper emphasises that the use of a broad context related to several levels of complexity: relational (concerning thespatial structure of the project), design (involving the use of knowledge and information concerning the complexity of theproject) and didactic or procedural (referring to the stages of the design procedure) is an important element of the designprocess of the housing environment.The researchers present a design approach developed in the author’s urban design studio. By acting according to the pro-posed ‘braid’ model, achieving a so-called ‘satisfactory’ design solution in city shaping is possible. The model syntheticallyillustrates the mechanism of the design process and its critical elements, indicating that the essence of urban design is toexploit the interdependence of the three mentioned contexts. They significantly influence the originality and quality of designsolutions in creating the living environment – especially in the creation phase of the spatial structure model.
