DESIGN
o Design is simply the activity of generating proposals that change something that already exists into something that is better; it include the most purposeful changes to the physical environment; o All environments are designed: in a sense that they embody human decisions and choices and specific ways of doing things o Design happens whenever activities change the face of the earth and create built environments. o Two types of environment: natural environment and built environment
o GENERAL CATEGORIES BY WHICH CONCERNS AND ISSUES MAY BE ADDRESSED IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: 1. Functional Zoning – the need for adjacency 2. Architectural Space – a concretization of man’s existential space • Space is the most influential aspect of design problem solving. • The designer must know what activities, conditions and people he is planning for. 3. Circulation and Building Form – Circulation may be conceived as the perceptual
