  1. 1. Architects design based on what they know (life experience) and draws on a string of information

    2. Solving a design problem -> What we know + the challenge (problem)
    -> SOLUTION

    3. Sketching is one of the best methods in finding a solution to a design problem

    4. There is no one formula for design

  2. An architect draws on a string of information or something based on what they know
    Problem solving= what we know + the challenge/problem
    Sketching is the best way to work out the solution
    The idea comes when you are doing something
    You can get a lot of information by interviewing an client
    There is no one formula for design

  3. -Architects use life experience and what they know to help them design things (e.g locations they have been, books that they have read).

    -Problem solving is the process of taking what we know and adding in a problem that needs to be solved and producing a solution that solves the problem.

    -Sketching is the best way to produce a solution.

    -Listening to the client can provide you with a better idea on how to design what they want.

    -There is no one formula for design.

  7. 1) Before starting on designing, we need to find information on the current building (Through people, internet, books, experience and so on), to find out what is the needs and wants of the people (Like what colour/material they prefer)

    2) Sketching helps in working out solutions

    3) Work through a problem before a solution to it can be found

    4) Problem solving in Architecture is taking what we know together with the problem.
