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 BrasÃlia.
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.
