WHAT IS SITE ANALYSIS?
HOW ABOUT SITE SYNTHESIS?

7. HOW TO GET IDEAS?

8. CREATIVE DESIGNER MUST BE AN
AMBIDEXTROUS THINKER
• CAPABLE OF
DEALING
EFFECTIVELY
WITH BOTH
INTUITION &
LOGIC
• ABLE TO THINK
HOLISTICALLY
&
INTEGRATIVELY
CENTERED
RIGHTLEFT

9. 3TYPES OF THINKING:
1
2
3VISUAL THINKING
VERBAL THINKING
MATHEMATICAL
THINKING

10. CHARACTERISTICS OF
UNCREATIVE
THINKER

11. STEREOTYPING1
BEING TYPICAL IN PRESENTING IDEAS,
USUALLY HAVE LIMITED RANGE OF
ALTERNATIVES IN THE DESIGN.

12. Inability to see problem
from different
perspectives
2
Always defined problem too
narrow, results in solving only
parts of the problem, or even in
creating more problems than
those solved!

13. familiarity3
Failed to use all of our sensory
incentives, only responds to
familiar areas and trying to
familiarize all areas into one
that experienced before.

14. ego or socially aware
self
4
It rejects the ideas that feels
cannot be implemented, fear of
failure because overemphasis
on grades – as a result,
students often avoids taking
risks.

15. too emotional5
- Being overly concerned with
the opinion of others – as a
results students is trying to
please rather than trying to
learn.
- It also creates a tendency to
judge rather than generate
ideas.

16. Lack of curiosity6
Unable to generate sense
of curiosity (the 5 ws + 1H).

17. Lack of access to
imagination
7
Unable to form or manipulate
bright images and failed to
distinguish between reality and
fantasy.

18. Intellectual & expressive
blocks
8
- Intellectual blocks refer to
the use of ineffective thinking
forms, the inability to move
freely between forms.
- Expressive blocks are the
results of inadequate
graphic/verbal communication
skills, and inability to apply
those skills.

19. Can you think about
something creative
now?

20. Section 2:
Design
process
| Bubble diagram |
| conceptual plan |

22. • The first step of design process.
• The beginning point of the graphic development of
a design.

23. • It is non-site related.
• No pictorial or
graphic realism
needed.
• The purpose is to identify
the best & most
appropriate relationships
that should exist
between the major
proposed functions and
spaces.
• To get insight
about which
functions and
elements should
be associated with
each other and
which one should
be separated.

24. Bubble diagram
Example 1

25. Bubble diagram
Example 2
Major proposed site
functions / spaces
Distance of the spaces
Type of enclosure
Barriers/
screens
Points of entering &
exiting

27. • Combination of site-related functional diagram &
bubble diagram.
• Is a continuous process after bubble diagram but in this
stage is to relate to the actual site conditions with
approximate size and scale.

28. • Conceptual plan is more detailed in both
content and graphic representation.
• No specific shapes and forms of areas
are studied.

29. Conceptual
plan
Example
Include base plan, with
boundary line (site
related)
Bubble outline for both
major spaces & details
Wall, fences, barriers,
vegetation, structures
etc.
Significant views

31. Section 3:
Design
process
| schematic plan |

32. Similar to
“preliminary
master plan”
All design elements
are put together &
compose in a
realistic, semi-
complete graphic
manner.
it is subject to change
(depends on client’s
approval).
Schematic diagram is
an overlay on top of
the form
composition study.
What is conceptual plan?

schematic plan
Example
 Variations in line weight, textures,
and values should be used to make
the drawing read clearly.
 All design elements;
- material used
- plant materials
- 3d qualities & effects

34. Form composition

35. A process of converting
the bubble diagram to
specific forms to create
visual order in design.
Forms should provides a
sense of consistency &
harmony by applying a
repetition of particular
forms.
It is a critical steps in
design process because
it directly affects our
sense of aesthetics and
emotions.

36. Form composition

37. design
approaches
• A successful design presentation
usually follows one of 6 basic
approaches; rectilinear, rectilienar-45,
radial, arc & tangent, irregular and
curvilinear.
• All design forms use a grid system to
give a sense of scale and guide
designers to the final design solution.

38. rectilinear

39. Rectilinear-45

40. radial

41. Arc & tangent

42. irregular

43. curvilinear

44. “Form follows
function”
[Louis Sullivan]

45. Section 4:
Design
concept

46. • Design concept is important for providing
uniqueness to the design.
• Could be regarded as the theme/definition
of a design.
• Plays as inspiration in designing.
