Architecture Theories
Architecture Theories
Knowledge architects use for selecting sites, materials, designing buildings, and considering maintenance and cost-saving.
Thematic Theories
Thematic Theories
Architectural theories focused on a specific objective, like classical orders (e.g., Doric columns).
Theories of Synthesis
Theories of Synthesis
Architectural theories considering human needs (physiological, security, belonging, self-fulfillment, cognitive, aesthetic) and how buildings meet them.

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.
