Notes from Chapter 6 of Shaping Interior Space by Roberto Rengel:
“The concept of fit in design refers to the appropriate correspondence between a set of requirements or needs and the design solution that addresses them.”
“A successful design possesses a structure that is uniquely derived from the requirements of the project and a character that reflects its nature and personality.”
“The American Heritage Dictionary defines concept as “a general idea or understanding, especially one derived from specific instances or occurrences.”
“A design concept aims to define appropriate responses that help generate a specific approach to solve a design problem.”
“…concept ideas arise out of spontaneous flashes of inspiration.”
“Organizational concepts are those that guide the arrangement of space.”
“Character concepts are those related to style, image, or theme.”
“The scheme you develop from your concept must represent an appropriate response to the project type, its particular programmatic requirements, and the context in which it occurs.”
Stages of concept development:
1. 1. understanding the project
2. 2. identifying dominant issues
3. 3. conceiving workable approaches
4. 4. externalizing the approaches
5. 5. evaluating the approaches
6. 6. consolidating ideas and choosing a direction
Relationships, hierarchy, and movement of space are important when designing a space.
Diagramming will help you to visualize your concept and organize your space
Types of diagrams: parti, functional
“A good public diagram, whether a parti or functional diagram, possesses three basic virtues: clarity of content, clarity of intention, and economy of means.”
