- Ideation is one of the most critical stages of successful design. The ideation stage is responsible for establishing the design's basic fit in relation to the project's needs.- A successful design requires the organization of all required functions within a coherent conceptual and physical structure that will make users' experiences orderly and engaging. This is accomplished with an insightful and fitting overall basic strategy, known as the design concept.
- Design Concept is a general idea or understanding especially one derived from specific instances or occurrences.
- The first attribute requires that the concept states something about the design solution and not the design problem. The second attribute of good design concept statements is selectivity. The third attribute of good design concept statement is economy.
- Other ways of approaching design concept statements include the use of statements that try to paint a picture of the experience you can expect in, say a restaurant and statements that evoke a certain spirit, be it of a past era or a certain attribute, such as elegance, austerity, or intimacy.
- The scheme you develop from your concept must represent an appropriate response to the project type, its particular programmatic requirements, and the context in which it occurs.
- Articulation refers to the modification of planes or volumes by their skillful modulation into clearly expressed subparts to facilitate legibility, add interest, and afford order a greater degree of complexity.
- Inflection means deviation from a given course, as when a straight scheme becomes angular or curved.
- Considerations in determining a system of organization are placement, circulation, massing, geometry.
- Parti Diagrams represents the scheme at its most basic. Expresses the essence of solution without getting into detail.
- Functional diagrams show the massing of a project, the organization, the main circulation system, and the specific placement of prominent destinations.
