1436 - 2015 Slide 4 of 101
Scope and limitations of the design
problem should be stated, identifying:
• The design lesson (Dimension and
scale, building components,
context, sustainability, flexibility
and organization, etc.).
• The scale of the project (urban
scale, architectural scale, etc.)
• Any special needs of the client
(given scenarios).
• Location of the project (given,
selected, hypothetical, etc.)
The aim is to build a common ground
of understanding between you and
the jury members.

8. 2- SITE ANALYSIS
Site analysis is ….. the study
of the context of a specific
site.
The result of site analysis
includes text and graphical
sketches.
The output is a set of
context-sensitive design
recommendations (design
decisions) that can be
considered a starting point
for the design process.

Design concept … is a holistic idea
that to promote an added-value to
one or more of the following issues:
• Environmental issues
• Functional issues
• Economic issues,
• Aesthetical issues,
• Structural issues, and
• Social issues
The design concept should be in
consistence with the design lesson
assigned to the level.
KEYWORDS are a good tactic in
generating the design concept
The design concept should be tested
and continuously developed.

General recommendations:
• Ground floor should be presented on site.
• Building components and systems should be
clarified and drawn correctly (e.g. structural
systems, mechanical shafts, vertical circulation
elements, etc.)
• All plans are of the same drawing scale, where
possible.
• Text scale as well as graphical scale should be
used.
• Plans as well as site plans should be furnished.
• Vector drawings are strongly recommended.
• Limited use of colors (for specific purposes)
• Appropriate use line weight.
• Plan key should be used.

Students should prove how far they succeeded
in tackling the design problems they should
solve (e.g. energy, character, context, etc.),
according to the design lesson assigned to their
level.
The aim is to experience what is called ‘evidence
based design’.
To do that, the final project has to be
analyzed/tested via:
• Available software packages; e.g. Revit,
Ecotect, DepthmapX (Space Syntax), etc.
• Graphical analysis; e.g. visual sequence, type
of movement analysis, character analysis,
etc.
• Calculations
• Etc.

General recommendations:
• Project info (title, lesson, level, student name, ID number, Design
studio, year, semester) should be clearly stated.
• Use A1-based sheet size.
• Overall design for all sheets as one board
• Standard scales should be used (1/50, 1/100, 1/200, etc.)
• Best selection of items’ size according to their significance.
• Avoid the excessive use of rendered shots.
• Alignment of presentation items is recommended.
• Appropriate use of colors.
• No, or limited use of, backgrounds.
• Avoid empty spaces in the sheet.
• Review sheet design samples.
