Design process in architecture: from concept to completion

Introduction : What is design? : What is 'good' design? ; Why do we design? ; Who designs? ; Design is collaborative ; Design is a service ; Design is iterative ; Design is personal

The stages of the design process : Research ; Proposition ; Analysis ; Revision

The tools of the design process : Drawing and sketching ; Orthographic projections ; Tools for collaboration and consultation: Central Brixton masterplan development, London / Fluid ; Maquettes, modes and prototypes ; Digital models, visualizations and rapid prototyping ; Construction drawings ; Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Modelling the design process : Where does design fit? ; Models of the design process

Approaches to the design process : Conceptual : Imperial War Museum North, Manchester, UK / Daniel Libeskind ; Formal : Mies van der Rohe ; Material : Economics and business faculty, Diego Portales University, Santa Clara, Chile / Duque Motta & Arquitectos Asociados ; Contextual : Neue Hamburger Terassen, Hamburg, Germany / LAN ; Functional : NAWI Hydraulic, Koufbeuren, Germany / Barkow Liebinger ; Computational : Theatre de Stoep, Spijkenisse, The Netherlands / UN Studio ; Collaborative : El Guadual Children's Centre, Villarica, Colombia / Feldman + Quiñones

Defining the project : Discovering and analyzing the brief/program ; Who is the user? ; What is the project type? : Musée d'Art de Nantes, France / Stanton Williams ; What is the concept? : Architecture, archaeology and context: Costillo de Riba-Roja del Turia, Spain / VTIM Arquitectes ; What are the spatial needs? ; The final brief/program

The design process in action : Concept design ; Concept development : Design development ; Detail design ; Production design

End-to-end design: New Adelphi Building, University of Salford, Manchester, UK / Stride Treglown : Brief development ; Initial design/concept design ; Design development ; Tender ; Redesign ; Re-tender ; Value-engineering ; Technical design ; Construction design ; Interior redesign ; Post-occupancy

Developing your design process : Be inquisitive ; Be reflective ; Be challenged ; Be yourself.
