design process

Phase 1: ID project, determine scope of services, consider schedule and budget
Phase 2: programming - gather date, identify primary issues, document existing state
Phase 3: schematic design; bubble and block

Dome

romans created it

Roman Column

living longer and independently in their homes rather than moving to retirement facilities

• A residential design approach that considers the needs of clients throughout their life

Americans with disabiities

ADA: handrails, braille, handicapped door openers - for people with disabilities
universal: equitable use, perceptible information, simple and intuitive use

design theory

"a coherent description, explanation, and representation of observed or experience phenomena"
purpose: helps us predict the future
- Framework for Analysis
- Facilitates the development of the field
- Application to practical real-world problems
- Provides evaluative criterion for judging real-world problems (in past, present and future).
- Critical component that forms the foundation of any body of knowledge

arousal

• Some spaces or more interesting to us (different to each person)

• Explains how we get to peak excitement  (some spaces do or do not overwhelm us

phase 1

• identify project

• determine scope of services

• consider schedule and budget

phase 2

programming

analysis of space

phase 3

schematic design

(bubble or block)
