Design Process

This document outlines the architectural design process and key variables to consider. It discusses the following phases: 1) Programming which involves establishing user needs, space requirements, and goals. 2) Schematic design which is the problem solving phase involving concept statements, diagrams, and preliminary plans. 3) Design development where physical form is refined through detailing, plans, elevations, and sections. 4) Construction drawings which are almost final. It also lists important design variables like need, context, and form.
