UNIT I
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROCESS AND METHODOLOGIES
Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or
measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings,
business processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in
different fields.
The process of design, even in the modern architectural schools, is based ona trial and error
method or proposing, testing & improving. There is no definitemethod or methodology prescribed in
any of the textbooks. Sometimes thetechniques in architecture are referred to as methods. Since the
end-product isdistinctly visible, its success or failure often shadows the method followed. The design
process followed in academies is a five-step process, as follows:

UNIT II
CONCEPTUALIZATION TECHNIQUES OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
THEORY OF DESIGN
Research of Architecture
- Research contributes to Design Theory
Nature of Design Theory
- Design Theory states facts
- Design Theory aids design
Scope of Architecture Theory
- Includes all that is presented in the handbooks of architects
- Includes legislation, norms and standards, rules and methods
- Includes miscellaneous and “unscientific” elements
Why Design Theory?
- To aid the work of the architect and improve its product
- Proven theory helps designers do work better and more efficiently
- “Skill without knowledge is nothing”
(architect Jean Mignot, 1400 AD)
Understanding Design Theory
- Theory does NOT necessarily mean PRECCED design
- PARADISM : every new or established theory applied
THEMATIC THEORIES
CLASSICAL THEORIES
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
- Author of the oldest research on architecture
- Wrote an extensive summary of all the theory on construction
- Had a thorough knowledge of earlier Greek and Roman writings
“Ten Books on Architecture”
- De architectura libri decem
- Consists mostly of normative theory of design (based on practice)
- A collection of thematic theories of design with no method of combining them into a
synthesis
- Presents a classification of requirements set for buildings:
: DURABILTIY (firmitas)
: PRACTICALITY or “convenience”
(utilitas)
: PLEASANTNESS (venustas)
Vitruvian Rules of Aesthetic Form
- Based on Greek traditions of architecture
- Teachings of Pythagoras : applying proportions of numbers
- Observations of tuned string of instruments
- Proportions of human body
- PLEASANTNESS : in accordance of good taste
: parts follow proportions
: symmetry of measures
7
THEORIES in the MIDDLE AGES
- no documents
- no person can be attributed for theories
Monastery Institutions
- Most documents retrieved from the Middle Ages
- However, archives contain only few descriptions of buildings
- Described only as “according to the traditional model”
- “There’s no accounting for tastes” was the rule of thumb
Development of Building Style
- With hardly or no literary research present
- Villard de Hannecourt’s “sketchbook” in 1235
- Rotzer’s Booklet on the right way of making pinnacles
- Only through guidance of old masters
- Tradition binding and precise in close guilds of builders
RENNAISANCE THEORIES
8
Soft stone; snow construction
Sheets of skin or textile Cone-shaped tent
construction
Logs of wood Box-shaped construction
PERSONAL STYLE
Copying from Antiquity
- Architecture form antiquity came to a print of perfection
- Eugene Viollet-le-Duc (1863)
: the first theorist who set out to create a totally new system of architectural forms
independent of antiquity
“What we call taste is but an involuntary process of reasoning whose steps elude our observation.
Authority has no value if its grounds are not explained.”
: the foundation of modern
architecture
: did not create a timeless architectural style himself, he showed others the
philosophical foundation and method that they could use to develop even radically new
form language
- Owen Jones : used forms inspired from nature, especially plants
9
ART NOUVEAU
- The first architectural style independent of the tradition of antiquity after the Gothic style
- The example set by Art Nouveau encourage some of the most skillful architects of the 20th
century to create their private form language
THEORETICAL TREATISES
- Five points of Architecture (1926, Le Corbusier)
a. pilotis
b. free plan
c. free façade
d. the long horizontal sliding window
e. the roof garden
- Architecture as Space (Bruno Zeri)
“The crux of architecture is not the sculptural pattern, but instead the building interiors. These
can be seen as “negative solids”, as voids which the artist divides, combines, repeats and
emphasizes in the same way as the sculptor treats his “positive” lumps of substance.”
- The “personal style” of architects are not necessarily based on laws of nature or on logical
reasoning. More important is that they exhibit a coherent application of an idea which also
must be clear that the public can find it out. An advantage is also if the style includes
symbolical undertones.

Industrial Revolution (1768)
- Arts and Crafts Movement

1. Antoni Gaudí
Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was a Spanish Catalan architect from Reus and the best known practitioner
of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works reflect an individualized and distinctive style. Most are located
in Barcelona, including his magnum opus, the Sagrada Família. Gaudí's work was influenced by his
passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. Gaudí considered every detail of his creations and
integrated into his architecture such crafts as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and
carpentry. He also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís which
used waste ceramic pieces. Under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudí...

3. Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator, who
designed more than 1,000 structures, 532 of which were completed. Wright believed in designing
structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic
architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater, which has been called "the best
14
all-time work of American architecture". Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of
architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in
the United States. ... more on Wikipedia

Pritzker Prize
Pritzker Prize, in full Pritzker Architecture Prize, international award given annually to recognize
the contributions of a living architect. It has often been called the Nobel Prize of architecture.
The Pritzker Prize was founded in 1979 by Jay and Cindy Pritzker of Chicago, who funded it as a
foundation through their family business, the Hyatt Corporation. The original stated goal of the prize
was to push architecture and architects into the public’s awareness and to support the notion that
buildings have a real influence on people’s lives. The prize was designed to honour architects for their
complete body of built work.
Since 1979, every year an independent jury of about eight people—composed of critics, practicing
architects, and patrons of the arts—has decided upon the winner. There are no set terms for jurors, who
become part of the jury by invitation and step down when they wish. Notable jurors have included J.
Carter Brown, former director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; Italian businessman
Giovanni Agnelli; architectural critic Ada Louise Huxtable; art historian Kenneth Clark; and major
architects such as Philip Johnson (the first recipient of the prize), Maki Fumihiko, Frank O. Gehry, and
Cesar Pelli.
Any licensed architect may nominate a candidate by communicating with the executive director of
the jury. The director additionally actively seeks out nominations from critics, academics,
professionals in related fields, and the jurors. As part of the deliberation process, which takes place at
15
the beginning of the year, jurors visit many buildings by architects under consideration for the prize.
This fieldwork is an especially positive aspect of the prize and distinguishes it from other awards that
simply rely on photos.

UNIT IV
FUNCTIONAL CONCEPTS AND THE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT
HORIZONTAL DISPOSITION
This pattern is dictated by the function of the building and the desirable size and shape of the units
themselves. The various units of plan are first arranged in a horizontal manner in order to secure a
workable relationship between the different areas. These units must be laid out to facilitate movement
in a quick and easy manner. This process is called Planning for Potential Circulation which is
mainly concerned on how structures are built to be used, and its main purpose is for people to have an
easy and direct access from one area to another and on how related areas should be adjacent to each
other. The form and enclosure of each space in a building either determines, or is determined by,
the form of the spaces around it. In the Theater in Seinäjoki by Alvar Aalto, for example, we can
distinguish several categories of spatial forms and analyze how they interact.
Each category has an active or passive role in defining space and its function.
A. Some spaces, such as offices, have specific but similar functions and can be grouped into single,
linear, or clustered forms.
30
B. Some spaces, such as concert halls, have specific functional and technical requirements, and require
specific forms that will affect the forms of the spaces around them.
C. Some spaces, such as lobbies, are flexible in nature and can therefore be freely defined by the
spaces or grouping of spaces around them.

VALUE, ASPIRATION AND CULTURE
Values
• People act according to seemingly instinctive patterns; they do things intuitively for reasons that
they cannot readily explain. Everyone has basic and personal values feelings, be they conscious or
subconscious, that act as lifelong guiding forces . Often these forces, called VALUES, keep you on a
familiar course, which may be beneficial or detrimental, when you are involved in decision making.
• Webster defines value as "that which is desirable or worthy of esteem for its own sake; thing or
quality having intrinsic worth". In the sociological context "acts, customs, institution, etc. regarded
in a particular especially favorable way by a people, ethnic group, etc."
Values affect all of our Decisions, including:
• Values are enduring, they take time to develop and nurture. They are not easily disposed of or
change, usually, once you developed, inherited, been handed a value on a silver platter, or had one
smashed on top of your head, you are stuck with it.
• What makes Values so persistent? People psychologically need values as a basis for their actions.
• Why do you desire things? Is it because of your culture, your biological configuration, or just your
own personality? Human needs, whether they be physical, psychological, or sociological in nature,
play a part in the determination of values.
• Why do some people demand to have a showplace for a home, a big mansion, etc., while others are
content with a home that reflects their own comfort? Why? Because people know what they are
doing, whether, it is providing for sleep, eating or another basic function.
• Values are what goals are made for. All people are individuals and VALUE different objects in life.
• No two individuals have exactly the same set of values there are many values which are common
to particular groups, communities and larger societies.

as from external factors.
2. 2. AMERICAN SOCIETY: Materialism is their value, such a value has contributed to a very high
level of material prosperity for the citizens of the United States. Looking at the high standard of living
enjoyed by Americans from a broader viewpoint, we can identify other values which have probably
contributed just as significantly to such material abundance. A commitment to freedom and free
enterprise.
3. FILIPINOS -Value of hard work
In the Philippines, our society is highly paternalistic, where there is papa, mama, uncle and aunties,
ninong and ninangs, assorted relatives and friends to rely on, we pull ourselves together in glorious
self-reliance and make it. And so we here in our country, Filipinos tend to be lazy, corrupt, and
inefficient. Yet When he is transplanted he becomes highly productive, competitive, hardworking, and
law-abiding. In other countries, he believes that hard work and study are the only ways to go up the
economic ladder and be successful.
1. INTEGRITY
-synonymous to honesty. It is "the quality or state of being complete or undivided." A person
with integrity is one whose actions conform to his principles and beliefs. He is not divided by
internal disharmony on conflict. Honesty, which is fairness or straight towardness of conduct is a
form of integrity.
More Euphemistic Institutional language
"commissions" "Iagay"
"fees" "padulas"
"rebates" "areglo"
"discounts" "kickback"
"gifts" "under the table"
"for the boys"
2. DISCIPLINE
As a value, discipline touches many aspects of everyday life, and is closely related to other
desirable values. For example, the values of COURTESY and FAIRNESS are involved when we
are called upon to practice discipline in situations when we have to line up in public. Also. how many
times has a traffic jam been caused by vehicles that are on the wrong side of the road because their
drivers cannot wait in line?
Contrary Practices
"siksikan''
"singitan"
"unahan"
Individual and national discipline is a multi-faceted value which is difficult to discuss
exhaustively but it is an essential element in any society that intends to get anywhere. For instance,
the strong discipline of the Japanese people has played a key role in making their country an
36
economic world power. To the Japanese the good of the group evidently comes foremost, and
the good of the individual follows naturally. In this regard, the Filipino value or attitude which
would be counter productive to economic progress would be "kanya-kanya" (everyone for himself).
This affects society in many ways.
3. HARDWORK
-It is a fact that many Filipinos are hardworking. They are willing to labor diligently and consistently
to earn a living and to improve their lot in life. However, the traditional "WORK ETHIC" suffers
from lapses as a value in our culture. We still find great dependence on "SUWERTE" or luck in our
daily pursuits and as a major determinant of our success of failure. We still harbor hopes of
"HITTING THE JACKPOT" with one big deal which will not entail to much work on our part.
Attitudes
"suwerte-suwerte"
"hitting the jackpot"
"Bahala na"
"Puwede na yan"
We still have the negative aspect of the " bahala na" attitude, of letting tomorrow take care of
itself without much effort on our part, of leaving things to chance without minimizing the odds
against it.
And quite a number of us still have the tendency to be content with "good enough" work,
without making that extra effort to achieve excellence. In the competition of the market place, this
spells the difference between the mediocre, run-of-the mill product in great demand. "Puwede na
yan" is the attitude of those of us for whom excellence, one of the rewards of hardwork, is not a
value.
The economic implications if the lack of commitment to hard work as a value are many: lower
productivity; lost business opportunities; lower quality of products and services; lack of market
competitiveness; waste of available resources; lower general standard of living; more uneven
distribution of wealth; delayed economic development; a heavier wetfare burden on the state; and
many more.
4. JUSTICE
Synonyms are "fairness, objectivity, impartiality; is a value which is universally upheld.
Nobody wants to be called unjust. But how much stock do we put in su ch terms as "nakaisa",
"nakalamang", "nakalusot". (made one over somebody, and went set-free even an fault), of
actions or practices which lack the element of fairness?

UNIT VI
DESIGN AND PUBLIC POLICY
The goal of public policy cannot entirely be separated from its source. Both government
and public policy help meet basic societal needs and obligations; decide how
communities, states or nations manage resources; and keep general order in society.
40
In policy formation, solutions to problems are shaped and argued. This phase is
characterized by intense negotiation between parties. Leaders, bureaus and other factions
must fight for their own needs and desires, often in opposition to one another. Concerns
might include budgetary issues, personal or political constraints, or the protection of
certain existing programs. Public policies are therefore formed far more by the act of
bargaining than by any other means. Policy formation continues even after initial
legislation is passed, arising whenever amendments are suggested or the original
legislation is reauthorized.
“Legitimacy” means that the public considers the government’s actions to be legal and
authoritative. To gain legitimacy in the United States, a policy must be moved through
the legislative process. Once this happens, it is considered the law of the land and can be
implemented as such. It must be mentioned that the legitimacy of a policy is only as
good as the willingness of citizens to accept it. Therefore, it is possible for people to
reject policy if they view the policy makers’ behavior or the legislation itself as
unacceptable in some way.
This phase puts policies into action. Responsibility passes from policy makers to policy
implementers, and the policies themselves may again develop further while this happens.
Whether a policy succeeds can often be traced back to this phase; a well-written policy
with a poor implementation can end in failure.
41
Example:
Policy makers conduct evaluations to determine if the policies they create are effective in
achieving their goals. When determining this, they must consider:
Evaluation may occur either during implementation or after the policy in question is
finished.
Once implemented, policies are periodically gauged for their relevancy and use. This
may result in their continuation, amendment or termination. These incidents often occur
due to policy makers’ shifting goals, values, beliefs or priorities.
When new issues arise, the policy-making cycle begins again, helping governing bodies
successfully address new and important challenges.

Political policy
Executive policy
In most responsible and democratic societies, both developed and developing, capitalist
and socialist, the executive policy is the form in which the executive body which may be
a cabinet, an executive committee, or a management committee, carefully shapes the
features of the political policy in order that it may be put into practice. The formulation
of an executive policy is largely done by those political office bears or institutions
constituting the super structure of executive institutions, for example, the cabinet
committees, and ministers, assisted by top officials. However, the most important
exposition of the executive policy is always the budget because it lays down the annual
work programme of the political party in power [Gladden, 1972].
Administrative policy
Administrative policy is the form in which the policy officials carry out the will of the
government of the day into practical effect and also facilitate to lay down executive
policy. Thus when the political and executive policies have been made known, attention
is then govern to the formulation of a third type of policy namely, administrative policy.
This policy is mainly concerned with the practical steps to give effect to the stated
executive policy. Administrative policy is made continually and can deal with serious
43
issues, but is often concerned with rather trivial matters, that is, practically feasible steps,
programmes, systems, methods and procedures to effect political and executive policies.
To illustrate the administrative policies give examples of job description of head of
government departmental permanent secretary.
Technical/operational policy
Apart from policy made at the three levels described above, decisions on various other
matters of policy may still have to be taken at the level where the work has to be done,
that is, at the operational level. Therefore, technical policy is the day - to – day policy
adopted by public officials, technical personnel and experts in implementation the
already decided administrative policies. It is the policy worked out by the officials in
operating the techniques of their professions, and is always coloured by officials,
professional skills, insights, education, experiences, capabilities, capacities, perceptions,
behavioural attitudes and morale. Therefore, all officials with discretion are in a position
to make technical and operational policies. Therefore, public policy is a complex,
multifaceted, polymorphous process which consists of sub – processes and sub – sub –
processes which are all intended to achieve postulated governmental aims and objectives.
DESIGN POLICY
Design policy can be defined as the process by which government translate their political
visions into programmes and actions in order to develop national design resources and
encourage their effective use in the country.
Design policy actions aim at sharing a set of rules, activities and processess to support
design through the reinforcement of design capabilities at all levels of policy cycle. It
involves the effort to more or less systematically develop efficient and effective policies
through the application of knowledge about policy means gained from experience, and
reason, to the development and adoption of courses of action that are likely to succeed in
attaining their desired goals or aims within specific policy contexts. The desire to
husband resources involved in goal attainment involves governments of all types and
persuasions in processes of more or less conscious and rational efforts at design.
However, the object of design—what is actually designed—who designs it, how they do
so, and why they make the design decisions they do, are all questions which require
clarification if the study of policy design is to move forward. Each of these issues is
addressed in turn in what follows and the strengths and weaknesses of the existing
literature on these subjects assessed.
Design research on policy design has so far been very limited14. If we exclude some of
the earlier authors, which are not necessarily considered to represent mainstream
design15 - and go beyond Rittel and Webber - the considerations of policy design in
design is very recent. Most of what has been written were conference papers or manuals
produced by design consultancies, and theserarely include a more in-depth approach to
44
policy, and very few (if any) references to policy literature. We can find considerations
of complexity and social problem orientation in design in several works, starting with
Buchanan (1992) on wicked problems in design and the extending design beyond
symbols and material artefacts. There are certainly elements of policy in the systemic
design approach (Jones, 2014), but most of the design literature relates to the broader
public sector and is limited to administrative innovation and service delivery (e.g. the
usability approach in design). Even when policy design is referred to in such literature
(McMullin, 2012) it is mostly considered in terms of the contribution of design to
decision-making16 .
IMPORTANCE OF DESIGN
Design is certainly not one thing and our intention is not to propose a standard definition.
Modern2 design has always been a very diverse and diverging practice, which has tended
to integrate methods from other disciplines as it expanded its scope over the last 2 or
more centuries3 . Some of its modern origins can be found in the practWhat brings
policy and design closer together is also the notion of judgement. Despite recent
technocratic tendencies in both domains, there has is a solid argument for considering
both policy and design in terms of “value judgments” and “norm-seeking” activities
(Özbekhan, 1968). When we compare design literature on judgments (e.g. Nelson and
Stolterman, 2012) with that in the ice of graphical design for standardized patterns in
textile industry.policy domain (e.g. Vickers, 1995) we can see how similar, if not
identical, are the two approaches.
The first distinction to be made when thinking about the types of policy design is the
contrast between policy design and program design these terms are often used
interchangeably in the public policy literature, but they should be seen as distinct. I will
be utilizing the idea of program design as a more constrained exercise than is policy
design,program design is more specific and to some extent program designs may be
embedded in more comprehensive policy designs, or derive from those more sweeping
policy designs.
IDEOLOGICAL DESIGNS
In this volume, as well as in most of the design literature there is a clear tendency to
equate design with the use of evidence and cogitation in order in order to produce policy
with the greatest probability of success given a set of posted goals. This rational process
of design can be constrated with designing based more on ideology. In such cases the
match betweeen a set of ideas and values and proposed policy is more important than the
rationality contained with the process. Evidence is less important than the belief in a
45
certain set of values, and perhaps a willingness to disregard cost. (human and material) in
the pursuit of the values.
POLITICAL DESIGN
Another important of design can be labeled a “Political Design”. This style of design
reflects contention alternative designs and the outcome of a political process that chooses
among them, or more likely produces some compromise among them. The Political
design often reflects the compromise between two or more conflicting ideological design
as describe . however, rather than having a hegemonic party or actor there are contending
actors, each presenting a desig, and some means must be undertaken to find an outcome
for that conflict.
DESIGN BY TRANSFER
In the literature of Public Policy, as well as in the real world of Policy Making, there is a
significant level of diffusion of policy ideas and designs.and there are over hundred
countries and there are thousands of sub-national governments involved in the process of
making public policies; and there is therefore a signififcant body of experience outside of
any one government, or any one designer, that can be used to shape policies. The
academic literature on policy diffusion is extensive (see Hadjisky et al ., 2017) and there
is perhaps an even larger body of experience in government on borrowing from other
political policies.
DESIGN BY INNOVATION
The type of design that most inidviduals, wether academics or policy makers or ordinary
citizens, would consider real design is design by innovation. Although I have argued
already that policymaking is remaking existing policies, there are some genuine
innovations in policy. This is in many ways a difficult claim to make. Even policies that
may appear innovative and path-breaking may be simply taking a model or an idea from
one domain and applying it to another.

Figure no. 2 “Interaction Matrix Diagram”
The requirements above are only numbered for later reference; they are in no
particular order. Some are straight-forward physical failures like visual privacy in
outdoor spaces, some are physical failures that lead to communal breakdown and some
are physical failures to give the right feelings within the community, and all are
concerned with site organization (except 27 which was subsequently omitted) and all
pointed to some specific kind of organization that must be present. Requirement writing
took about 3 weeks once we had decided what kind we wanted. It was often possible to
find a distant isolated case where the possible solution to two requirements might
conceivably affect one another.
The diagram shows pairs of requirements considered interacted. The numbers
refer to the requirement numbers and a blob on the matrix to an interaction. So, 14,
52
visitors should be able to find an address they want easily interacts with '32, people
should feel that their dwelling is uniquely identifiable as their own' since both deal with
the distinction between dwellings, the size of groupings of dwellings and how far apart
they are; and does not interact at all with '9, people should be able to leave a baby in a
pram in the open air where they know it will be safe' which needs a small private space
adjacent to an overlooked by each dwelling.
The first problem is to find a measure of just how "good" any particular
groupings of requirements are in terms of most links inside groups and least links
between groups. This measure can then be used to compare any divisions of the whole
set until the best one is found. The mathematics to drive such a measure is complex and
demands that all requirements have an equal probability of finding a total solution
whether links are positive i.e. the two requirements help one another in solution) or
negative (i.e. they hinder one another).
In this particular case the procedure used was to compare all possible groupings
of just a single requirements together with all the rest left as groups of just a single
requirement. When the best pair had been found it was called a single unit and then the
best pair again found of this new set. And so on until no further combination of a pair of
units (i.e. either a group of requirements or a single requirement) produces a better
division into groups. In this way the groups of heavily interlinked requirements were
'built up' from the set of single requirements.
In the real life hill-climbing programmed it is necessary to repeat the procedure a
number of times with, say, the requirements in a different order since in the initial stages
of the process any pair is as good as any other. The more sophisticated programs have in
practice, however, been found to give essentially similar results for even low number of
tries.
So there was no reason why the small groups should not be dealt with in the best
way that we could think of at the time, but now with a great deal more knowledge about
which part of the problem they were most likely to fit with. These changes, with one
requirement rejected, brought the number of groups down to eight, most of which were
dealing with recognizable scale of problem. The final groups are shown in the diagram.
A schematic diagram for each of the groups was then produced as the result of further
discussion of what we originally intended by the requirements. It was also possible to
state the basic idea behind each diagram, which necessarily left out the details.
