Understanding the Schematic Design Phase in Architecture

Understanding the Schematic Design Phase in Architecture

The video script outlines the schematic design phase as the initial step in the architectural design process. This phase involves formulating the big ideas, including the floor plan, space requirements, and the overall aesthetic of the project, considering factors like materiality, constructability, and budget. It stresses the multidisciplinary knowledge architects must have to integrate various systems (mechanical, electrical, structural) early in the design. The phase aims to create a realistic rendering that can be presented to stakeholders, making up about 25% of the design process and laying the groundwork for subsequent phases such as design development, construction documents, procurement, and construction.
