General :
Understanding the Project
Concept, general approach
Plan (form, function, circulation,
structure, light, materials, etc..)
Elevations: materials, openings, solid &
void, masses, vocabulary, etc)
Sections: function, circulation, space
relationships, structure, etc)
3D: masses, form, general design

EXAMPLES
A) Function:
What are the functions in the
building?
What are the spatial needs for
each function?
Are there any special needs
for a function other than
spatial?
Example:
A school has many functions included,
one of them is teaching.
Teaching requires class rooms,
Each classroom has special furniture
needs, thus certain space requirements
based on the number of students,
Other needs for the classroom would
be related to material use, lighting
requirement, noise control, colors, etc..

B) Circulation-Path
Once the functions in the building are
identified, and their relationships are clear,
an analysis of the circulation would be in
place.
This analysis is only intended to provide an
idea on the different routs different users
will take around the building.
Example:
Functional needs
Furniture
Relation to other spaces
Any light, sound, or thermal needs
Finishing recommendations
Any special considerations
The Circulation
Lows and Regulations
Relation to the Site.
