Architectural Concepts
It is the designers way of responding to the design situation presented. They have been the means of translating the non-physical problem into the physical building product.
Some categories under which the concerns and issues of a building may be listed and addressed in design are :
1. Functional Zoning2. Architectural Space3. Circulation and Building Form4. Building Envelope
Building concerns & issues:
1. Functional Zoning - is a term used to describe the phenomenon when buildings of the same function cluster together in an area of a city or town. Sometimes zoning laws require that uses be concentrated in a particular area.
Building concerns & issues:
2. Architectural Space – it means that the design must be spatially relevant to social use of architecture.
