Modern architectural design may be generally appointed as complex. Hence, designing in an undefined domain within the field of architecture (e.g. From the urban to the building and down into the materialisation) is also a risky task. Hence, in some situation, such a design has to deal with one or more severe constraints, therefore such a design environment represent an extremely busy situation. This design, such as designing for a Sustainable Reconstruction of Houses in a Seismic Desert environment (i.e. SRH-SD), may become too vague to reach any appropriate conclusions. For which systemisation is a good solution to avoid the possible complications and chaos, which has been provided in a larger frame of study (e.g. See also Shahnoori, 2008; Shahnoori, 2009; Shahnoori et al., 2010a; Shahnoori et al., 2010b, Shahnoori et al., 2011a). In this solution, the design Processes has been modelled as a system in the Glocal (Global and local) Process Model or the GPM. Each phase of the GPM has been assumed as a Subsystem. To formulate complications in critical phase, such as the Exploration Phase, the items and segments of the phases need also organisations and arrangement. Therefore, as the previous research concentrated on the first phase (i.e. the “need”); the current research focuses on the second phase of the GPM, the Exploration phase. Thus, first the importance and crucial role of the exploration phase is discussed. However, to enable the design to benefit from the valuable outcomes of this phase it need to be organised. Therefore, in the first postulation, it is a subsystem, and then it comprises its own internal environment and elements, and structure. Therefore, after discussing this and the argumentations a model of such a subsystem will be presented.
