The document discusses architectural concepts and case studies. It defines concepts as abstract ideas that can evolve throughout the design process. Concepts help architects translate non-physical design problems into physical buildings. Functional concepts solve design problems logically, while artistic concepts draw inspiration from other art forms. The document provides examples of architectural projects with functional or artistic concepts. It also discusses developing concepts through site analysis, brainstorming, and being inspired by nature, forms, or other architecture. Case studies are defined as in-depth investigations of individuals, groups, or communities that can help designers understand aspects to consider.

5. CONCEPTS
When we think of an architectural concept, we think of
an abstract idea, one that is unchanging throughout the
design process. This is not necessarily the case, a concept
can be linked to many factors, and can evolve as the
design grows.
Architectural concepts are the designers way of
responding to the design situation presented to them.
They are a means of translating the non-physical design
problem into the physical building product.

7. FUNCTIONAL CONCEPTS
When a design has a logical purpose that solves a
design problem.

17. AESTHETICAL CONCEPTS
When the designer relies on the other forms of art for
inspiration.
The best way to develop concepts is the combination of
function and art.
You can get inspired by paintings, movements, nature,
rhythms, philosophies or history.

23. HOW TO DEVELOP CONCEPTS ?
1. Read the Design Brief.
2. Do the site analysis
3. Brainstorm
4. Use Bubble Diagrams, Zoning.
5. Understand the design requirements
6. Understand the spatial constrains.
7. Understand the budget.

31. CASE STUDY
a process or record of research into the development of a particular
person, group, or situation over a period of time.
a particular instance of something used or analyzed in order to illustrate a
thesis or principle.
PRESENTATION BY AR.GEEVA CHANDANA | 31

32. CASE STUDY
A case study is an in-depth investigation of a single individual, group,
incident, or community. Other ways include experiments, surveys, or
analysis of archival information.
As the term Case Study suggests, it is the study of a particular case that
is similar to your topic of design project. Doing a case study will help
you understand the various aspects that you have to consider while
designing.

33. LITERATURE CASE STUDY
Before you start with your live case studies, first of all do a complete
literature case study. Literature case study consists of reading everything
you can find on the subject.
You can refer books in a library, use Google to look up research papers,
check out Standard Code books and statutory laws or from technical
journals.
A literature case study would give you a vague idea about your topic.
There will be various questions arising in your mind after you are done
with your literature case study. To find the answers to those questions,
you will have to go for live case studies.
