background on the subject, create a design library
and instill the right mindset in our students which is
establishing the eagerness to learn. Also creating a
deeper “purpose” early in their careers.
 HW#2 will introduce the Design Process and the
requirements of a good architectural design. It will
help them have role models thru their “Architect
Idols” and reference styles in Design.
DESIGN PROCESS

 Architectural design is an important phase of


every project because it focuses heavily on
the functionality and aestheticism of
your project. Every design detail will make a
difference in the day-to-day life of those who
will be utilizing the space.

LECTURE 3
BY ARCH RATA
WHAT IS A CONCEPT

LATIN – conceptum
Meaning “something conceive”

 created by the human mind (until AI came)


 Manifestation of an original idea

*Reference book page found in Google Drive


CONCEPT in ARCHITECTURE

“Misused”
 Concept
Architects – dreams of grand and
underdeveloped ideas not realized
 Conceptual Architecture – not built, intended
only to stir up reaction
 Concept Stage – a sketch of a project
SPECIFIC vs UNIVERSAL

SPECIFIC – unique condition, use of building,


needs of user, site opportunities, topography,
political, social.
UNIVERSAL – standards, timeless solutions,
rules, measurements, scale and proportion,
beauty of character. The truth and integrity of
the project.
BUILT REALITY

“Architects should not only conceptualize but


also build their ideas and design”

Building is a physical manifestation of the


original concept.

We must always have a reason to BUILD.


Specific and Universal
Concepts are always
part of the Design
Solution
OTHERWISE, IT IS JUST A HOUSE OR A BUILDING
