Classic Steps to the Design Process

Pre-Design Phase

Phase where a client identifies a need to accommodate new or expanded activities

Design Program

a written document that spells out the characteristics that the new building must have in order to satisfy the identified needs.

a design brief for the building.

begins with a Problem Statement.

Goals

what the project is trying to accomplish.

Objectives

what the project is trying to achieve.

Design Objective

are statements containing specific aims in how a project shall be designed or planned.

Design Considerations

factors that may influence the achievement of a design objective/s

Design Criteria

includes design principles necessary to create a functional and dynamic structures; standards, norms and conditions the proponent should meet in designing his/her project

Design Requirements

detailed and specific properties that the building must have in order to be successful.

Space List

Design Requirement.

Sizes and Dimensions

Design Requirement.

Site Analysis Elements

Deed

Schematic Design Phase

phase when there is a search for an essential organizing principle.

idea that will suggest the overall arrangement and form for individual and groups of spaces that makes up the building.

1. Creation of Bubble Diagrams
2. Bubble Diagrams turn to Schematic Plan and Massing Models
3. Studying Massing Model on the site
4. Making Adjustments to the Schematic Plans and Massing Models

Steps in Schematic Design Phase

Design Development Phase

phase where the architect revises the approved design in response to the client's comments and needs.

Schematic design made more detailed.

decisions are made about the materials and methods of construction to be used.

the space plan is worked out in detail.

a cost estimate is prepared.

Contract Documents Phase

phase when working drawings and specifications are produced.

Contract Documents

These documents use a combination of graphics (drawings) and written information (notes, schedules and specifications) describe the building thoroughly and precisely enough that it will be possible to construct it.

Detail Design

design of the many construction details of the building.

Structuralism

Iron construction that was initiated by Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace that brought about a trend in architecture.

example of Structuralism

Monumentalism

(from Adolf Loos) "the form of an object should last" & that implicitly there are some forms which have eternal validity.

Chicago Tribune Tower by Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells

example of Monumentalism

Radicalism

Marked a radical shift in emphasis from the buildings of the past to the design of those which met the demands of modern life like those of Henry van de Velde and Walter Gropius

Fagus Factory by Gropius

example of Radicalism

Constructivism

was a movement that was active from 1915 to the 1940's. It was a movement created by the Russian avant-garde, but quickly spread to the rest of the continent.

Constructivist Art

is committed to complete abstraction with a devotion to modernity, where themes are often geometric, experimental and rarely emotional.

example of Constructivism

Expressionism

describes the work of those architects who prefigured the International & Functionalist Period of the Modern Movement.

Einstein Tower by Erich Mendelsohn

example of Expressionism

Futurism

"is the architecture of calculation, of audacity & simplicity; the architecture of reinforced concrete, of iron, of glass........& all those substitutes for wood, stone & brick which make possible maximum elasticity & lightness."

Neoplasticism

the theory of pure plastic art which had a pronounced influence on Dutch architects. It consisted in the exclusive use of the right angle in a horizontal position, & the use of the 3 primary colors contrasted with or incorporating in various canvasses the 3 non- colors: white, black & gray.

Schroeder House in Utrecht by Gerrit Rietveld

example of Neoplasticism

L'Ecole de Beaux Arts (Paris)

The style turned to Gothic revival due to its brevity, idealism, heroism, and picturesqueness. Verticality was the trend.

Founded by Van Doesburg.

"construct without any illusion, without any decoration".

broke away from naturalism and historicism and by appealing to abstraction as the means of expressing a universal synthesis of modern times.

part of Team X.

unite the personal freedom with the total environment Shadrach Wood (U.S.)- from cell house to mass housing which results in desolation.

Aldo van Eyck (Holland)

part of Team X.

architects left no cracks or crevices; made a flat surface of everything

example of Team X

Organicism

architecture that sympathizes with its environment which is shown in the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright &
the Prairie School.

very antithesis of the geometrical organized facadism of those architects who believe that architecture should intrude on the environment in the Classic, Neo- Classic & Gothic sense.
