Establishing clear goals and objectives is crucial for defining the project's direction and ensuring the design meets the client's needs.

• Understand the client’s vision and specific requirements.

• Establish priorities such as sustainability, cost-efficiency, and functionality.

• Ensure performance criteria like accessibility and aesthetic appeal are met.

• Tailor the design to achieve the desired results within the project parameters.

Thorough information gathering is essential for creating a design that aligns with the project’s context and requirements.

• Collect data on site conditions (topography, climate, zoning laws).

• Understand the client's needs and any relevant regulations or standards.

• Analyze external factors to ensure a viable and site-appropriate design.

Developing strategies is about choosing the best approaches to meet project goals and overcome challenges.

• Consider using specific materials, efficient construction methods, or adapting to existing structures.

• Plan for future adaptability and growth.

• Ensure strategies support functional, budgetary, and environmental goals.

Determining the proper space and volume ensures the building functions well and provides comfort for its users.

• Calculate the required size and arrangement for each space.

• Optimize spatial relationships and flow between rooms.

• Ensure the layout supports the intended use and enhances functionality.

Evaluating the total building area ensures the design meets spatial and budgetary needs within the project’s constraints.

• Determine the overall size of the building, including all floors and volumes.

• Ensure the design fits within the site’s limitations and requirements.

• Align the total area with the client's needs and budget, avoiding over or under-sized spaces.
