Concept Development

2. What is Concept?
It is an abstract idea,
a plan or an intension
From interior Designers
point of view it could be
an approach to a design
When we think of
architecturalconcepts, 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.

3. • A strong architecture concept
gives the architect / designer a
clear direction and framework
when making design decisions; it
provides a methodology to the
thinking process by offering a
type of rule book.
• When there is a question to be
answered or a decision to be
made, the concept is consulted
and used to direct methods of
thinking to provide a solution
within its own parameters to
maintain the clarity of the design
intent. This stops the architect
from branching off into never-
ending directions and tangents,
that will only hinder and water
down the architectures
legitimacy.
Why Concept?

4. • Exterior and interior - orientation,
massing, form, apertures, height, light
• The landscape - hard and soft surfaces,
types of planting, scale of painting,
arrangement of planting
• Finishes - colors, styles, textures,
materials
• Fixtures and fittings - genre, style, scale,
amount, material
• Structure - light, heavy, traditional,
modern, vernacular
• Materials - colors, hard or soft,
weathering, types, styles, locally
sourced, vernaculars
