Conceptual Design and Early Studies

A project usually starts with a very rough conceptualization of first ideas in which the architect’s mind wanders between the creativity of fantasy and the reality of customer needs, merged with the influence of the genius loci. Conceptual designs are the first graphical words an architect exchanges with a client to get approval for the architect’s first thoughts and sense the temperature of the client’s taste. When the initial idea is approved, the architect continues in the next stage of development of their design and makes more developed studies supported by concrete measurements and numbers that show the applicability of the design and its feasibility We’ll review how this process can be done using Revit. Figure 8.1 shows an example of a very early massing study using Revit that has the semblance of a building. Let’s walk through how this workflow is supported. .
