DESIGN PROCESS

Architectural Design and Theory 1

The Design Process


1. Problem Statement: Indentify Client Needs +Preference + Set
Goal (Function Requirement, Style & Meaning)
2. Analysis: Exiting? What can be changed? Develop Hypothesis
3. Synthesis (Projection/Concept): Diagram + Design
4. Evaluation: Compare alternative, Decide, Test+ refine ideas
5. Implementation: Detail Drawing, Implement, Reevaluate Work

Good and Bad Design


A Design maybe GOOD because:
it functions well- it works
it is affordable it is economical,
efficient, and durable
it looks good it is pleasing
it recreates a feeling remembered from
another time and place it carries
meaning
