    SWOT and TOWS Analysis

    • Strengths: Advantages like location, good topography, available infrastructure.
    • Weaknesses: Issues such as environmental constraints, poor accessibility, or zoning limits.
    • Opportunities: Future development potential, sustainability options, or government incentives.
    • Threats: Risks from environmental factors, regulatory changes, or competition.
    • TOWS Analysis: TOWS Analysis is an extension of the SWOT Analysis framework that identifies your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, but then goes further in looking to match up the Strengths with Opportunities and the Threats with Weaknesses.

    Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies

    • This analysis involves the identification of a site's development potentials through the proper utilization of land.
    • Analysis covers the context of the site, surrounding environment and development controls that apply to the site and its environs.

    Promotional Services

    • Projects may require promotional activities to develop and generate financial support and acceptance.
    • The Architect acts as the agent of the Owner by producing and coordinating activities necessary to complete the services.

    Presentation Boards

    • Presentation Boards are an essential representation for projects and works in architecture.
    • Architects present projects of different scales as architectural presentation boards.

    Types of Architectural Presentation Boards

    • Conceptual Board: Concept boards are essential for initiating an architectural project. They focus on key elements such as analysis, theoretical concepts, problem analysis, and proposed solutions.
    • Technical Drawing Board: Architectural technical drawings are crucial for representing the comprehensive details of a project.
    • Analysis Board: Analysis boards are critical tools for architects, showcasing thorough and detailed evaluations before a project begins.

    The Design Service

    • An architect is a highly trained, licensed professional who provides professional services that benefit clients & the general public at large.

    Design Services

    • Pre-Design Services: Can be rendered by the Architect's own staff, by association or consultation.
    • Pre-Design Services: Include an Economic Feasibility Study, Project Financing, Architectural Programming, Space Management/Planning, Site Selection and Analysis, Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies, and Promotional Services.
    • Design Services: Regular services consist of 4 phases: Schematic Design Phase, Design Development Phase, Contract Document Phase, and Construction Phase.
    • Specialized Allied Services: Include Interior Design Services, Acoustic, Communication and Electronic Engineering Services, Landscape Design Services, Physical Planning Services, and Comprehensive Planning Services.
    • Construction Services: Four principal members involved in Design and Building Construction: Owner, Architect and Engineers, Contractor, and individuals who assist in the supervision and delivery of work.
    • Post-Construction Services: Include Building and Equipment and Maintenance, Building and Grounds Administration, and Post-Construction Evaluation.
    • Comprehensive Architectural Services: Scope of Comprehensive Architectural Services includes Pre-Design Services, Design Services, Specialized Allied Services, Construction Services, and Post-Construction Services
    • Design-Build Services: Can be offered through Administration or a Guaranteed Maximum Cost.

    Design Process

    • The Architectural Design Process involves developing and analyzing a construction project in 6 organized phases.

    Contractual Framework

    • An Architectural Contractual Framework refers to the structure and arrangement of legal agreements between all parties involved in an architectural project.

    The Architect's Delivery Approaches

    • Design-Bid-Build (DBB): Design and construction are separated, with the contractor selected based on the lowest bid.
    • Design-Build (DB): Design and construction are combined, with the contractor responsible for both.
    • Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR): Owner selects a CM based on criteria beyond cost, with design and construction separate.
    • Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): Owner, architect/engineer (A/E), and construction manager (CM) are all involved from the beginning.
    • Public-Private Partnership (3P): Government entity and private corporation partner to fund, construct, renovate, maintain public infrastructure.

    Design Documentation

    • The architect creates the Architectural Design Document to document design factors and the specific choices made to satisfy those factors.
    • This document serves as a way for the architect to show his work when making design decisions.
    • Includes conceptual, logical, and physical designs.

    Examples of Design Documentation

    • Printed Complete set of plan or PDF copy.
    • Minutes of every meeting.
