Study Notes
- A concept is a way to organize the component parts of a project under a single idea.
- There are many approaches to arriving at a concept, including formal, tectonic, intuitive, analytical, narrative, metaphorical, and site responses.
- Architectural concepts can be derived from almost anything.
- Even within a single approach, there are many methodologies for generating ideas.
- A system of analysis is one way to grasp existing conditions that might provide the generating idea for the project.
- You can analyze the site, context, program, or relationships between these topics to generate a concept.
- Asking questions is a good way to start developing a conceptual idea.
- Start with what you know, such as program and site.
- Analyze these to understand what each might mean for the given project.
- Then ask the question: "What is important and why?"
