Types of Evaluation • Design Evaluation • Post Occupancy Evaluation
Design Evaluation
Design Quality
The Architectural Design Quality • The following four main sections represent the four main areas of quality that contribute to the overall quality of design: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Impact Build Quality Functionality Value

The Architectural Design Quality 1. Impact • This section refers to the building’s ability to create a sense of place and to have a positive effect on the local community and environment.
The Architectural Design Quality 1. Impact • It also covers the wider effect the design may have on the arts of building and architecture. – Character and innovation – Form and materials – Internal environment – Urban and social integration
The Architectural Design Quality 2. Build Quality • This section relates to the engineering performance of a building, which includes structural stability and the integration, safety and robustness of the systems, finishes and fittings.
The Architectural Design Quality 2.
Build Quality – Performance – Engineering systems – Construction
The Architectural Design Quality 3. Functionality • This section is concerned with the arrangement, quality and interrelationship of spaces and how the building is designed to be useful to all.
The Architectural Design Quality 3.
Functionality – Use – Access – Space
The Architectural Design Quality 4. Value • A well designed building has a greater value to all involved. • It is likely to be easier to gain local acceptance and get planning permission, it will provide better service to the users, and it should be cheaper to run.
The Architectural Design Quality 4. Value • A well designed building is one that is suitable for its intended use, built to last, safe and sustainable to build and occupy, contributes to its context and looks good. It should convey its function and role, be easy to understand and a delight to use, visit and pass by.
The Architectural Design Quality 4. Value • If it fulfills all these criteria it will be a good investment. Sound financial management and an aspiration for excellent quality go hand in hand. • The real costs and benefits of a building are in its occupation and you should be striving from the outset for a building that will maximize whole life benefits. • Extra resources spent on design or construction to achieve high quality can pay for themselves many times over during the life of the building.
