This stage of design is creative and brings together all the internal and external requirements and information that has been collected, evolving into a design strategy, which satisfies your requirements. The creation of an effective Design Diagram that is clear, simple, strong and capable of responding to the peculiarities of your design, without becoming confused and compromised, is a crucial moment in the design of a building.
You will need to be good at conceptualising in three dimensions as you work simultaneously on sketch plans, elevations and the general form of the building. This phase does not involve any drafting, only rough sketches/drawings, but lots of them.
Don't be afraid to throw away an idea if you can't get the form and workings you desire.
