    Study Notes

    ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING

    • Architectural programming is a research-driven process that outlines the scope of work for design.
    • Employs a structured six-step approach:
      • Research project type
      • Establish goals and objectives
      • Gather relevant information
      • Identify strategies
      • Determine quantitative requirements
      • Summarize the program

    ARCHITECTURE

    • Defined as the art and science of building design and construction.
    • Vitruvius highlights three critical qualities of architecture:
      • UTILITAS: Practicality
      • FIRMITAS: Strength and durability
      • VENUSTAS: Beauty and attractiveness

    ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

    • Encompasses complex activities involving knowledge, communication, and production.
    • Architects utilize specific terminology, drawings, models, and diagrams for effective communication.

    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

    • Universal accessibility design principles must be integrated into building projects.
    • Key areas to focus on include:
      • AESTHETICS: Form and composition
      • NATURAL ENVIRONMENT: Site considerations
      • MAN-MADE ENVIRONMENT: Ingress/egress and landscaping
      • SPATIAL: Functionality, accessibility, and zoning
      • HUMAN DETERMINANTS: Psychology, culture, and ergonomics
      • BUILDING TECHNOLOGY: Includes structural and mechanical systems
      • LOCAL REGULATIONS: Compliance with land use and building codes

    DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

    • Represents the set of principles guiding a designer's beliefs and values.
    • Notable philosophies include:
      • Antoni Gaudi: Advocates for organic forms, exemplified in Sagrada Familia, Barcelona.
      • Louis Sullivan: Promotes the idea that form should follow function, as seen in the Wainwright Building, St. Louis.
      • Oscar Niemeyer: Suggests aesthetics and beauty take precedence over function, evidenced in the Cathedral of Brasília.

    DESIGN CONCEPT

    • Serves as the foundational idea for a design project, guiding its identity and development.
    • The architectural concepts include:
      • ANALOGIES: Designs reflecting specific objects, such as Santiago Calatrava's Turning Torso in Malmö.
      • METAPHORS: More abstract interpretations representing broader themes, exemplified by Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin.
      • ESSENCES: Focuses on the fundamental aspects of an issue, as illustrated by Safdie Architects' Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore.
      • BIOPHILIC ARCHITECTURE: Suggests inherent human affinity towards nature benefits well-being.
