Architectural Design Concepts Approaches
أفكار تصميم معمارى - هندسة معمارية
Definition
- •A simple definition of a concept suggests that concepts are ideas that integrate various elements into a whole.
- •These elements can be ideas, notions, thoughts, and observations.
- •Concepts are the antithesis of notions, which do not make any pretense about being appropriate.
- •A concept, on the other hand, implies appropriateness; it supports the main intentions and goals of a project and respects each project’s unique characteristics and restrictions.

Introduction
•Concept formulation is not an automatic
activity; it takes a concentrated effort to
develop a concept that appropriately integrates things not previously brought
together.
•Bringing things together is a creative
act-one that designers, architects, critics, artists, musicians, and writers
have identified as being about 10 percent inspiration or genius
and 90 percent hard work.
•Concept formulation is an unfamiliar
activity for most people, and students of architecture have as much trouble
mastering it as they do other aspects of design.
•Three problems block skill development in
conceptualizing.
- communication,
- inexperience, and
- generating hierarchies.
