BUILDING DESIGN PROCESS
What the building design process actually is…….
It from a contractual and technical perspective…
How does the design itself emerge ?
What are the inspirations ?
What are the thought processes that move the design from a blank piece of paper or an empty computer screen to a completed design that a contractor can build ?
To what extent is the process creative ?
Building design is pluralistic, a combination of practicality and aesthetic, of art and science.
Some aspects of the design process might be seen as being more creative than others. Whilst the early stage of design, when constrains are considered, options assessed and concepts developed might be considered creative, this can be a relatively small part of a project, which is preceded by business planning and justification, brief development and feasibility studies and is followed by detailed and technical design, production information, procurement and construction.
Design is also a multi-disciplinary, with some roles being more creative than others
ARCHITECT: Overall aesthetic, project control and management
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER : Design that will stand up, strength and build ability
SERVICE ENGINEER: Interior comfort and efficient design
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: Around the building
ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIST: Detailed drawing and specifications
QUALITY SURVEYOR: How the design is influencing costs and budget control
