ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS AND DESIGN

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.we saw the rise of new trends such as new social spaces, new facades and increased usage of steel for structures. Some of these trends have made it in the predictions for 2022 but there are also new ones.

Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures.

When we think of architectural concepts, 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. Every project will have critical issues, central themes or problem essences, and the general issues of designing a building can be approached in a number of ways.

We may approach our design looking at the materials of the structure as part of our early architectural concepts. By focusing on a specific material, we will be naturally led towards particular forms of construction, thus creating a type of appearance organically.

Perhaps we select a material approach based on our site context, which suggests a historical use of a particular material, which we want to use in a more innovative way. By selecting local materials, it will give the local visitors a sense of comfort and familiarity, whilst also giving a nod to the natural surroundings and environmental benefits of sourcing locally
