TRANSCRIPT
Traditional Design Process
• Client Brief: stated list of requirements of the design in terms of spaces, costs, time, parties, mandates, etc.
• Schematic Design: sketch design showing principal solution of the design
• Preliminary Design: worked-out drawings that show most design decisions
• Engineering Design: calculations on materials and installations regarding safety, well being, etc.
• Contract Documents: Drawings and text for putting out to tender
Consultants
• Structural eng.• Construction eng.• Electrical eng.• Installations eng.• Etc.

Representation
• 2D: plan, section, façade
• 3D: perspective, isometric, scale model
• Static: desired state
• Dynamic: time, behavior, interrelationship
Media
• Paper and Pencil• Artists’ paintings• Clay, Card Board, Foam, Plastics,
Wood• Computer drawings and renderings• Collage editing; photos, drawings,
renderings
Scale Modeling
• Emphasis on sketch phase: mass studies
• Hand crafted, artistic-like sculpturing
• Abstraction of architectural form
Scale Model Evaluation
• Relative dimensions• Lighting, Shading• Form esthetics: (a)symmetry,
repetition, intrusion• View impression• Form fits Function• Color, Material impression
Interface Technology Aspects
• Interaction: interactive manipulation of the deign in ways that are natural for the architect and which do not draw attention to the handling of the interface
• Immersion: three-dimensional real-time experience of the design
• Simulation: visual, acoustic, and haptic simulation of the design for relevant feedback of design decisions
• Visualization: visualizing information that is non-visual by nature (e.g. heat transfer, cost, etc.)
