1. Architectural Design Process –by
Archetypes.com

• The process of designing a building,

space or structure typically consists of
design phases: Programming,
Schematic Design, Design
Development, & Construction
Documents.

• Design is seldom a linear a process,

one
typically moves back and forth between
the phases, allowing ideas from more
detailed designs to influence and modify
the overall design direction previously
established.
1.1 Programming
• the activity of determining the "program", or set of needs
that a building needs to fulfil.
• In order for a design to succeed>>rooted> thorough
understanding and examination of the user's needs, the
constraints and other goals of the project = form complete
as possible in understanding of these issues.
• During the programming phase, it is normal to identify
what rooms/spaces are needed. For each space, consider
at least the following requirements:
a. Who will use the space
b. Use of the space; what activities will take place there?
c. How private or public should the space be?
d. Which other spaces should be adjacent or most
accessible from that space?
e. What type of mood should the space create?
f. How large should the space be?
• It also includes an examination of constraints, such as
cost, zoning and building code restrictions, and locally
available materials
• After establishing the program for a
project, the focus in the architectural
design process shifts from what the
problems are to how to solve those
problems.
• During schematic design, the focus is on
the "scheme", or overall high-level design.
Here, minor details should be ignored to
instead focus on creating a coherent
solution that encompasses the project as a
whole.
• Solution: A major focus of this phase is
the relationship between rooms and
spaces. Consider which spaces should be
adjacent to one another and gradients of
public vs. private spaces when sketching
out the layout of spaces
2. Design Methods & Conceptualization

• Idea & Concept

• Want & Need

• Thinking, Making & Sustainability

• Analysis & Synthesis

3. Goal & Objectives
Understanding Goal/s & Objectives may help in
Formulation of Statement of the Problem
• GOAL is the kind of environment you are to
create as Architecture is called the Built-
Environment.
In stating your goal as a designer, the
formulation of the statement may consist of the
What (kind of environment you are to create),
How ( type of planning development of the whole
facilities of the project) and Why (project
objective’s need)

“Design Objectives must be satisfied to achieve the Goal”

Design Objectives from WBDG---may be base on the
following problem situations: Technique 1
• Accessibility- Circulation pattern
• Functional/ Operational- Efficiency/ Effective (Active
or Outfitted/ furnished) management system
through proper space zoning/grouping of areas,
rooms &/or space requirements
• Aesthetic- Artistic and Visually Appealing
• Productivity- Inventive Output > interior space
planning
• Safety & Security- Welfare (healthy) & Protected
(safe & sound)
• Historical- Precedent & Evolving
• Sustainability- Viable with regard to ecological,
enviromental issues, and naturally balanced in time,
climatic condition…etc
Technique 2

• Aesthetic- Formalist,
Pattern, & Biological
• Dispersion- Circulation ;
Environmental, &
Communal (Group, Shared)
• Method-Material &
Technology; Tool, Process &
Scale
• Culture- Values, &
Principles; Collective
Spatial Images,
religion/morality, Work &
Leisure, and Status
• Social- Environmental (Eco-
friendly/ Green
• Evolution- Historical/
Typological; Precedent

Filipino Architecture

Zone/ Required Areas Total Area of Space
Group Spaces Activities User Furnitures C
________________________________________________________________________
____ ( C= Circulation---30%-60% of the total area of user & Furnitures)

Total group or zone area = Total Area of Spaces + 40%-60% of Total Area of Space
Total Area of Building = Total Area of Zone/Groups

“The purpose of architecture is to create

space” Two aspects of space:
• physical property of dimension &
extent
• mental construct through which
the mind knows the world

• Zoning and Grouping Diagram – Site
Development Plan - provision of public,
service & private areas oriented to site
context/ Wind Direction & Sun Path
By: Plot the lot, identify streets and the North,
zone areas/ facilities (using space program
measurements) according to wind direction & sun
path and consider building code requirements
and other guidelines designing for the welfare of
all users . Next identify pedestrian access from
the street level to the facilities followed by the
vehicular driveway considering location of public/
private parking areas. Then problems on
pedestrian walks (transitional spaces) and
vehicular driveways and parking may be given/
address by landscaping design layout. Analysis
and synthesis technique applied may take place
in this process satisfying your goal/s and
objectives as to accessibility, functional/
operational management system and safety/
security for users/ occupants.
• Distribution Diagram –Space Planning Scheme -
Once location of structure facilities has been identified
in context with the site, Each zone/ group of facility
must be drawn in schemes base on the space
programming measurements.
• Sketch layout of zone/ group of areas using space
program measurements,
• area of spaces identified/draft on zoned or grouped
areas or rooms like doing bubble diagram but
measured (save time) flexible with the dimensions base
on space program.
• Measurement of circulation of zone/ group of area
added after the total area of spaces may be temporarily
drawn on center of the group of zone/ group of spaces.
• Let the formation of form of spaces be natural in its
development or growth of your schemes. Focus on
space relationships, arranging it accordingly.
• Remember your goal ( comfortability, flexibility,
adaptability & expandability) and objectives ( aesthetic-
quality of spaces, operational management system &
productive use of space, safety/security and other
features may be introduce/ discovered at times.
Circulation Diagram – Movement &
Experiential Planning Process –
• identify walls to decide on door & window
openings of identified spaces,
• while corridors &/or hallways, and stairway
location comes from the allotted space
centered among spaces as circulation area
• organization of spaces with layout of
furniture (base on activities/operational
management system at times from
Organizational Chart of a project)
• provision of behavioral setting must be
considered for Goal & Objectives..
• Specification of materials may develop,
synthesizing with appropriate experiential
movement in space, creating an
environment that may address
understanding of Goal & Objectives as
Sustainability starts.
