    Study Notes

    • The context of a site, including its built and natural surroundings, historic and cultural significance, influences the design process for architectural proposals.
    • Architects often consider how a project should contribute to its surroundings, reinforcing existing patterns or serving as a contrast.
    • Communities have collective goals and values that can impact the design process, influencing the alternatives considered and their evaluation.
    • Sustainability is an increasing concern in architectural design, affecting the use of natural resources during construction, operation, and deconstruction.
    • Building technology, including the selection of materials and systems, significantly influences the design process and a building's outward expression and form.
    • Regulations, such as building and zoning codes, energy codes, and tax laws, must be considered during the design process to ensure compliance and project realization.
    • Design process involves understanding a project's parameters and synthesizing them into a comprehensive solution.
    • Understanding a project's building program is crucial to the design process, often involving research into precedents and benchmarking to determine effective design attributes.
    • Design process is not a secretive or mysterious activity, but a rigorous and methodical process of inquiry and invention.
