Design Problem : Working Process

To begin with, sketch the design problem by drawing up individual rooms of the required areas as simple rectangles drawn to scale and group them. Study the movements of the people and goods horizontally and vertically and analyse circulation and the relationships of rooms to each other and the sun. Now the designer will progressively obtain a clearer understanding of the design problems involved. Instead of starting to design at this stage they should determine the position of the building on the site, by exploring the various means of access, the prevailing wind, tree growth, contours, aspect, and neighbourhood. Try out several solutions to explore all possibilities  and use their pros and cons for a searching examination — unless of course a single obvious solution presents itself. Based on the foregoing, decision-making is normally fairly quick and the real picture of the building emerges.
