    Development of Architectural Concept - Lecture 4

    Uploaded by

    Anas Qader
    The document discusses different approaches to developing an architectural concept, beginning with addressing students' difficulties in finding direction in their designs. It defines an architectural concept as an abstract idea or approach that translates non-physical design elements into a physical building. The document then outlines several common conceptual approaches, including functional, material/construction, contextual, conceptual, formal, environmental, value-based, collaborative, and philosophical approaches. It provides examples and definitions for each approach and suggests investigating how a designer's personal values interact with the design problems of a given project.

    Development of Architectural
    Concept

    Approaches
    Investigations
    Designer values
    Questions??????
    • One of the most popular questions we get
    asked by students is “how do you develop an
    architectural concept?”
    • The design process can be daunting OR
    horrifying to new students, who often find it
    difficult to find direction in their design
    • They constantly asked, “what is your
    concept?” by their teachers, and respond by
    staring blankly back at them!!!!!!!
    Concept VS Process
    How the architectural concept

    fits

    the design process


    Concept Definition
    • An abstract idea
    • A plan or intention
    • An idea or invention to help
    • Sell or publicise a commodity
    • Idea, notion, theory, model, pattern
    • Conviction, opinion
    Concept definition
    • An approach to the design
    • Might be unchanging throughout the design
    process
    • Can be linked to many factors and can evolve
    as the design grows
    • Concepts are the designers way of responding
    to the design
    • Translating non physical design to physical
    building product
    Concept definition
    Every project will have critical issues, central
    themes or problem essences,

    And

    The general issues of the design


    can be approached in number of ways
    The architectural concept approaches
    • Functional (Use & Utilization)
    • Material and Construction (form)
    • Contextual (form)
    • Conceptual (form)
    • Formal (form)
    • Environmental ( Environment)
    • Value (economy)
    • Collaborative (Integrated factors)
    • Philosophical (Inter-subjectivity)
    • Might be other approaches
    FUNCTIONAL CONCEPT
    • Does the project have more necessity for
    functional elements rather than the aesthetic
    appearance of the building?
    • It does not mean that we cannot demonstrate
    creativity and flair ‫موهبة‬
    • The function of the building is our key focus
    • Innovative Zoning
    • Innovative Relationships
    • Innovative Functional sequent
    • Innovation with other concepts
    Material and Construction Concept
    • Looking at the materials of the structure
    • Focusing on a specific material led towards
    particular forms of construction
    • Organic appearance of the building
    • Material based on site context suggests a
    historical use of a particular material in an
    innovative way
    • Innovative Vernacular construction
    Material and Construction Concept
    • Local materials give local visitors comfort and
    familiarity
    • Gives a nod to the natural surrounding and
    environmental benefits of sourcing
    • Innovation in flexibility of structure
    • Easiness in construction and feasibility
    • Use available technology and craftsmanship
    • Mixing new with old
    • Innovation in structural and constructional design
    Material and Construction Concept

    Material and Construction Concept
    Contextual Concept (Form) ‫سياقية‬
    • Look at the context of the site & surroundings
    • The historical features of the area
    • The cultural and social features of the area
    • The people and behavior that occupy the area
    • Every project concept should be partially
    contextual
    • Explore physical and nonphysical data of site
    • Harmony and/or Contract
    • Turning existing building back to the context
    Contextual Concept (Form)‫سياقية‬
    • contextual architecture, is a principle of
    design in which the structure is designed in
    response to its specific urban and natural
    environment. In an architectural sense,
    context can be defined as giving meaning to
    the various parts of a building through
    reference to its wider surroundings.

    Conceptual Concept (Form) ‫فكرة خيالية‬
    • Every part of the project is about the concept
    • The sole focus of the design is about the idea,
    • No combination of approaches and processes
    • Parts attached to the total idea
    • Rational thinking but most subjective
    • Exploration of ideas
    • Symbolic-metaphor features from outside the
    field of architecture
    • Sometimes never built
    Conceptual Concept
    Panton canvas callery
    Conceptual Concept
    Conceptual Concept
    Conceptual Concept
    Formal Concept (Form) ‫فكرة من العمارة‬
    • Concept from theory or history of architecture
    • Formal language of architecture
    • From from classical periods to contemporary
    • Classical or typological orders ( proportion, scale and form)
    • Symbolic-metaphor features from architecture

    • Elements like line, shape, color and texture do not exist in


    isolation on a building. They are combined to make formal
    compositions in an architectural design, creating pattern,
    rhythm, symmetry, balance, contrast, proportion, theme,
    and unity. It is important that the variety of elements used
    for a building blend together well so that the design appears
    unified.

    Formal Concept
    Environmental Concept
    • Preserve the natural environment
    • Reserve the natural environment
    • Sustainable design (eco design) design should comply with
    ecological sustainability
    • Social and economic factors are subsystems
    • Green Design
    • Garden Design
    • Interlock, overlap indoor with outdoor spaces and the
    opposite
    • Design transition space between in and out
    • No clear segregation between indoor and outdoor domains
    Value Concept
    • Value for money
    • Cost vs. Time
    • Feasibility study led to the design
    Collaborative Concept
    • Most projects considered collaborative
    • Large design team working on the different
    aspects of the building
    • Design concept also decided by owners,
    stakeholders, engineers, contractors, concerned
    parties to the end user
    • Engagement of end user as expert
    • For projects of large community and social focus
    • Rarely possible in student project
    Philosophical concept
    • The architect’s design philosophy
    • The architect’s life values and experiences
    • Reflection of the design brief or context of the
    site
    • it’s not so much about the specific project
    you’re doing but about what you believe
    architecture should be.
    Statements to investigate
    • Through your design approach you can
    investigate the following:
    • Artistic vs. scientific
    • Rational vs. irrational
    • Personal vs. universal
    • Visual vs. nonvisual
    • Needs vs. wants
    • Individual vs. society
    How do the designer values (personality) work
    with the design problems you face on a
    particular project?
    • Ordered vs. Random
    • Structured vs. Unstructured
    • Objective vs. Subjective
    • One answer vs. Multiple solutions
    • Creative vs. Conservative
    • Specific vs. General
    • Man vs. Nature
    • Complexity vs. Simplicity
    • Design for now vs. Design for future
