TEG Architecture Designs Video Presentation

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 come under the following categories: * functional zoning * architectural space * circulation and building form * response to concept * building envelope

Design Philosophy In order to develop your concepts first consider your design philosophy. Your philosophy is a set of values that you use to inform your design. Often this is considered to be the life values of the designer. For example: * artistic vs. scientific * rational vs. irrational * personal vs. universal * visual vs. non visual * needs vs. wants * individual vs. society
