Objectives
Configure ArchiViable to serve Urban Developers as a specialist Architectural Viability Concept Design firm which will initiate
successful urban developments by providing comprehensive and creative architectural concept design services to:
Explore Client Program Aspirations - uses, strategies, structures, priorities, scales, schedules, quantities, and qualities;
Specific Site Inspirations - location, proximity, survey, dimensions, topography, geology, hydrology, infrastructure,
easements, access, exposures, orientations, views, existing and future contexts;
Applicable Jurisdictional Regulations - zoning, neighborhood, building, fire, energy, transportation, and environmental;
Synthesize these design determinants by integrating their likely relationships into lively configurations which provide optimally
advantageous synergies of sustainable orientations and proportions, appropriate community and privacy resolutions, and
attractively vibrant compositions - to create architecturally viable design concepts;
Report the design determinants in descriptive summaries, the conceptual configurations in depictive graphics, and the resulting
yields in informative spreadsheets - to expediently predict comprehensive, qualitative, and quantitative development potentials.
Present the viable conceptual configurations to jurisdictional authorities - to confirm compliances and begin the permit process.
