The design development phase of our project builds upon the foundation of our earlier design concept, incorporating critical considerations such as technology, materials, systems integration, and architectural analysis. This course provides a comprehensive exploration of these elements, delving into construction methods, building codes, structural and mechanical systems, environmental systems, building service systems, and the development and integration of building materials and components.

Through this course, our objective is to cultivate a holistic understanding of how architects effectively communicate complex building systems within the context of the built environment. Moreover, we aim to demonstrate our ability to document a comprehensive architectural project while emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship.

To enhance our learning experience, we will examine a series of real-world case studies presented by our instructors and guest professionals who are at the forefront of exploring innovative project delivery methods. These case studies will be extensively analyzed, showcasing construction photographs, 3D renderings, technical drawings, and intricate details.
