Architectural Concept
Introduction
Currently, architectural design must satisfy the needs of living spaces for human beings, both aesthetically and technologically. Understanding design as a creative process directed towards a specific goal, there are certain bases that support its development and creativity. These bases have not been formulated as a regulation to be followed to the letter, as they are governed by creativity.
To attribute certain characteristics to a design, it is necessary to use a language based on concepts, rather than definitions. A designed work can have one or several attributes interacting with each other to achieve an objective.
The architectural design's mission is to satisfy the demands for living spaces, both aesthetically and technologically. Presents technical and constructive solutions for architectural projects. Among the elements to take into account for architectural design are creativity, organization, physical environment, construction, etc.
General concepts
Design-customization concepts
Some of the design concepts that have served as the basis for the development of a project are the following:
Composition principles
Unit
A creation will have unity if all its parts are presented as a whole. In some artistic branches it is compared to harmony.
Unity is achieved by uniting the parts into an organized whole.
Repetition
To achieve repetition, it is necessary to first determine an element, which will appear more than once. Each element has an identical shape to the others. They are identical or similar shapes that appear more than once in a design. The presence of modules tends to unify the design. The modules can be discovered easily and must be simple or the repetition effect would be lost.
