CO-CREATION INTRO: PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE LITHUANIA, 08.11.2019
Concept: An idea, thought or notion that forms the backbone and foundation of a design project and one that drives it forward. It becomes the force and identity behind a projects progress. An architectural concept is the meaning and reason to the end product and is the very first part of the design process to be developed and realized.
Architectural Concept in a formal way: IDEA
NOTION
ABSTRACTION
PHILOSOPHY
BELIEF
INSPIRATION
THOUGHT
INTENTION
OPINION
THEORY
IMAGE
HYPOTHESIS
Architectural Thinking Products
Concepts – 5 Expressions - ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS - THEMES - SUPER ORGANIZING IDEAS - VISUALIZATION - LITERAL TRANSLATIONS
Architectural ideas: Concepts that have been reduced to formal architectonic concern; space, sequences of spaces, integration of structure and form, and sitting in the landscape. Composition and spatial arrangement
Themes: A theme is a specific pattern or idea that carry on throughout the design of a project.
Super organizing ideas: General geometric configurations or hierarchies that the parts of a project should respect. The building prototype morphology is one form of the super organizing ideas
Super organizing ideas...
Visualization: Scheme and Sketch are the conceptual and graphic products of a particular method of instruction.
Five Types of Design Concepts - Analogies (looking at other things) - Metaphors (looking at abstractions) - Essences (looking beyond the programmatic needs) - Problem Solving (looking at the requirements) - Ideals (looking at values)
Analogy: Identifying literal relationships between things. (DIRECT vs INDIRECT)
Source of Analogy - NATURE PLANTS ANIMAL - HUMAN MAN-MADE, MACHINE, STRUCTURE, GEOMETRY OR CONTEXT
Metaphor: Identifying patterns of parallel relationships between source and target.
Essences: Concentrating aspects of more complex issues into terse, explicit statements. - Brings insights into the most critical and basic aspects of the thing being analyzed. - The result of discovering and identifying the roots of an issue.
Problem Solving: Direct response to the nature of the problem which developed around more pragmatic issues often explicitly identified in the building program.
Ideals: Looking inside the problem to discover appropriate, ideal concepts that represent the highest aspirations and goals of the architect.
