Study Notes
Architecture Design Process
- Consists of all the knowledge an architect needs to use in their work.
- Example uses: selecting a suitable building site, choosing materials and structure systems, designing advice, and incorporating maintenance & cost-saving methods.
Types of Theories
- Thematic Theories: Focus on one objective, such as classical orders (e.g., Doric columns).
- Theories of Synthesis: More subjective and arguable theories.
Elements Shaping Architecture Design
-
A) Functional Requirements:
- Use Program
- Internal Circulation
- Functional Relationships
- Technical Issues
- Regulations
-
B) Site Conditions:
- Natural Characteristics
- Orientation and Climate
- Circulation
- Parking
- Building Relationships
-
C) Technology & Structure:
- Technology
- Structure
- Materials
- Systems
-
D) Culture:
- Religion
- Philosophy
- Science & Art
- Political Issues
Stages of Architecture Design Process
-
A) Program Development:
- Identify project constraints (purpose, user groups, environmental impacts, building codes)
- Research and analyze similar projects, collecting data on space requirements, energy use etc.
- Define the problem by reviewing and evaluating previous work.
-
B) Project Analysis:
- Analyze the site, considering topography, climate, surroundings, amenities, etc. creating a site map showing areas and volumes.
- Analyze building needs, considering space requirements, functional relationships, and circulation patterns
-
C) Design Stage:
- Develop and evaluate alternative solutions, creating schematic layouts, models, and reports.
- Select the best solution based on efficiency, safety, and client needs.
- Develop final drawings and presentations.
Site Consideration
- Key factors: safety, traffic, climate, scale (surrounding buildings/streets), accessibility, context, maintenance.
- Includes: Understanding weather patterns, site topography, vegetation, drainage, pedestrian/vehicle traffic, surrounding land use, and maintaining a long-term management plan.
