1. The document discusses architectural design methods, focusing on programming and concept development. It emphasizes that the site and program should complement each other. 2. Relationship matrices and diagrams are used to understand how spaces and activities relate within a design. Concepts are developed through sketches, schematics, and preliminary drawings. 3. The design process involves analyzing user needs, space requirements, and site context before generating concepts and refining ideas through drawings in order to arrive at a final design solution.

- 1. ASU – Ain Shams University Faculty of Engineering Department of Architectural Engineering ARC 122: History & Theory of Architecture Fall 2017 Instructor: Dr. Yasser Mahgoub Lecture 3c - Design Methods
- 2. Program & Site The site and the program should be "right for each other“! PROGRAM SITE Program
- 4. Relationships • Relationship Matrices • Relationship Diagrams Understanding relationships is a very basic and important part of architectural programming.
- 5. Relationships Three distinct levels: 1. Relationship of activities within an organization. 2. Relationship of activities to objects or places. 3. Relationship between different objects and/or places.
- 6. Relationships Relationship of activities within an organization
- 7. Relationships Relationship of activities to objects or places
- 8. Relationships Relationship between different objects and/or places
- 10. The Bubble Diagram Relationships Matrices Relationship Matrices
- 11. Relationship Diagrams Small circles or “bubbles” each of which contains the name of one of the identified spaces. The bubble representing the space under consideration is drawn first, then other spaces relating to it are indicated in additional bubbles placed near the first bubble. Heavy, medium, and light-weight lines can be used as a code to indicate strong, moderate, and weak relationships.
- 15. Context
- 17. Site Analysis The selection of site is a very important and sensitive task. It affects the success of the project. Site features include macro and microclimates, topography, natural circulation, views and landscaping elements such as trees, bushes, rocks, or water. Context
- 18. Context Site Analysis The site analysis can be further extended taking into account program area needs to explore some preliminary alternatives for building massing.
- 19. Form
- 20. Design phases of architectural design • Site analysis is treated as distinct phase probably because it involves on-site activity in real projects. • In contrast to the pre-design stage, schematic design phase is a problem solving stage in this phase. • What is called „creative part‟ usually refers to the schematic design phase where main concepts of form and space are generated.
- 21. Space and Order 3. Form Scale and Proportion
- 22. 3. Form Mass and Balance Volume and Composition Unity and Diversity
- 24. Programming Example The architectural design programs are usually complicated. We are going to use here a small and simple program of a small house or chalet containing the following spaces: Entrance 5 m2 Living/Dining Space 40 m2 2 Bedrooms 25 m2 each Kitchen 10 m2 Bathroom 8 m2
- 25. Develop space allocation – A graphic chart or block diagram makes space allocations visually accessible. Programming
- 27. Program Analysis – Words and numbers graphic terms, charts, bubble diagrams, and sketches of design concepts – Be actively involved in the program and spend time confirming it Programming
- 28. Prepare adjacency studies • The relationship of spaces is studied and charted using matrix charts, link-value charts, and bubble diagrams. Programming
- 31. Circulation, patterns of movement, is one of the most important aspects of design because it affects the human experience of space and place. The needs of special groups should be considered especially while designing public buildings. Circulation
- 32. Physiological Needs: Anthropometrics and Ergonomics –Anthropometrics: Measuring the physical requirements of human beings as users –Ergonomics: Application of anthropometric data to human/environment relationships
- 33. Psychological and Sociological Needs: Proxemics (Theories of man’s spatial relationships)
- 34. Design Develop preliminary design – This is the most in the design process. – Creativity, comes into play and the efforts to find approaches that will be original, aesthetically satisfying, valid solutions to the problems defined through programming.
- 35. From Bubbles to Areas
- 36. – Even experienced and highly skilled designers often find it difficult how this aspect of the design process works. – They will say that they “think about “the problem until they are “hit by an idea”. Design
- 37. – One assembles the puzzle picture by searching for fits; piece after piece is picked up, tried, and found to be a misfit until, finally, the right piece steps into place. – The designers mind searches memory to find elements that meet their needs of the given problem. Design
- 38. Ideation: Concept Statements Verbalization of how to achieve project objectives. Establishes underlying principles, both aesthetic and functional, that the physical designs will address. It discusses methods that will be used to achieve results.
- 42. From Analysis to Concept Step 1 Step 2
- 43. From Sketches to Drawings
- 44. From Analysis to Concept Step 3 Step 4
- 45. – A designer will spread out the accurate, scale plans of the space in question and overlay these with thin yellow tracing paper on which sketches of the interior and plan form can be drawn. Design
- 47. Drawings are the architects' preferred tool. Besides being an effective means of presentation and communication, drawings enable us to develop the first flash of an idea into the most detailed architectural form. Freehand Sketching Design
- 48. In other words, drawings are important to design because design develops only through the interaction between and architect and such a vehicle as drawings. Freehand Sketching Design
- 49. All such sketching remains loose and highly abstract. Only when creative thinking has led to a strong guiding concept is it appropriate to proceed to the more detailed planning steps. Freehand Sketching Design
