DESIGN PROCESS

ARCHITECTURALPROGRAMMING

The process of managing informationso that the right kind of information isavailable at the right stage of the design

process and the best possibledecisions can be made in shaping theoutcome of the building designs.

The process that creates the structurefor fulfilling the dreams, hopes,wishes and desires of the buildingsfuture inhabitants.


6/35

DESIGN PROCESS


The orderly definition of thearchitectural problem and the

articulation of project requirements in amanner that promotes the creation of aresponsible solution for the design ofthe building.

The problem-seeking phase of the

design process.

The gathering, organizing,analyzing, interpreting and

presenting of the information

relevant to a design project.

ISSUE- any matter, concern,question, topic, proportion or

FACT - are objective,specific and verifiable by somemeasurement or observation.

Their existence is not subject tojudgment but their use andinterpretation is based on values.

PROGRAM

VALUES: different buildingtypes require different designresponses for the same issues

based upon the values of differentusers and the needs of differentactivities.

Design issues, when processedthrough the filterof values of theclient, user and designer yield goalstatements about qualities thedesign must have.

DESIGN PROCESS


PROGRAM

Goal: a statement of intention; anend that one strives to attain orthat toward which effort or play is

directed; an action statementProject Goal- goals that relateonly to the outcome of theproject; these are based upon theunderlying values of the designer,

clients and users.Mission Statements- the overallpurpose; a statement that conciselyexplains the need to undertake aproject in the first place.


17/35

DESIGN PROCESS


PROGRAM

Performance Requirement

a statement about the measurablelevel of function that a designed

object, building, or place must providefor a good to be met; performancespecification standard or criterion.

This statement is more specific than a

goal since it relates to function( adoing) instead of a quality (a being);must be general enough to allow formultiple, alternative physical solutionsor concepts


18/35

PROGRAM

ON PT - a statementof an ideal set of relationships

among several of the elementsunder an architects control such

as form (dimension and direction)material, texture, color (value,intensity) and adjacency.

A concept statement is made upof a single diagramand a few

words.

CHECKLISTOF ISSUES

Audibility- the acoustic properties of anenvironment that contribute to onesability to hear what needs to be heard and

to mask unwanted sounds

Behavioral Settings- the units fordescribing the interdependencies ofactivity and physical settings

Circulation- movement or flow ofpeople, objects, information orsubstances

CHECKLISTOF ISSUES

Comfort - providing ease andenjoyment

Convenience - ease of access to places,materials and information

MISSION ANDGOALS

Mission Statement: To create a

residential environment that blends easily into a

variety of urban settings, and at the same time

provides space and support features requiredby severely retarded/disabled adults.

Goal 1 (issue: social interaction/learning)

The meal preparation/dining areas should

promote active participation by the residentsand facilitate the learning of daily living skills.

Goal2 (issue: territory)

Bedroom should promote a sense of ownership

and responsibility for the residents.

PERFORMANCEREQUIREMENT

Goal 1: The major portion of parking for thedowntown core should be a short pleasant walkfrom most shopping destinations.

PR1: Shoppers coming to downtown shouldhave to walk less than five minutes to get fromtheir car to 90% of their destination.

PR2: Major pedestrian corridors between

parking and downtown stores should be visuallyinteresting and substantially protected from rainand the afternoon sun.

PR3: Major paths should create impulseshopping and window shopping opportunities.

THE DESIGNPHILOSOPHY

a statement of the beliefs, valuesor viewpoints from which the

development of design solutionstake off. They are often formedout of universally held principles,and thus become bases for sociallydesirable design objectives.

CONCEPT

An initial generalized idea A germination which is to be expanded

and developed later in some detail

A perception about form or relationships

among variables resulting from an analysisof the problem

Rudimentary set of tactics forproceeding with design

First ideas about building morphology

CONCEPTBREAKDOWN

This consists of sub-concepts thatcorrespond to particular areas ofarchitectural concerns.

An overall concept can be brokendown into sub-concepts fallingunder one or more categories.

The mix varies depending on the

research problem.

TRANSLATIONGUIDELINES

These are specific design guidelinesformulated out of the sub-concepts.

They may be the refined versions ofthe chosen sub-concept or could alsobe the product of the consolidation oftwo or more sub-concepts.

The guidelines prescribe performanceand quality standards that are based onthe design parameters derived out ofthe performance requirements.

TRANSLATION

GUIDELINES

Social and Academic InteractionGoal : The facility should promote spontaneous social interaction

among students of all years and departments, faculty andadministrators to allow frequent exchange of information

TRANSLATION GUIDELINES:

-There will be two entrances to the building and these shall be spaced twenty meters

apart.

-The corridors shall not be less than 1.5 meters in width.

-All studio doors shall open to common spaces such as lobbies and corridors.

-Doors shall not be less than 2.1 meters in width.


34/35

TRANSLATIONGUIDELINES TRANSLATION GUIDELINES:

-There will be five (5) student organization kiosks, each of which will have a floor area of

at least ten (10) square meters.

-Student organization spaces shall be located in the two (2) minor lobbies adjacent to the

stairs.

-There shall be provided two (2) home labs for every three (3) hot labs.

-Each wing shall have a mix of two (2) studios and two (2) faculty offices.

TRANSLATION

GUIDELINES

TRANSLATION GUIDELINES:

The main lobby from where the four corridors would branch out shall be irregularly shapedsuch that no two corners would have the same configuration.

The main lobby shall have be 0.40 meters lower than the minor lobbies. The rooms shall be

0.20 higher than the lobby.

Rooms 201 , 203 and 204 will have movable partitions. This will allow the use of these three

(3) adjoining rooms as one big hall during special occasions.

Three hundred (300) square meters at the northeast corner will be dedicated for travellingexhibits.
