Raphael Architects - Design Decisions Schematic
Raphael Architects - Design Process
 
 


To develop a unique understanding of each client project, we engage in an interactive process of rational decision making. Our clients, consultants and staff cooperate in an iterative series of tasks, including the following:

  • Understanding the context of the project through information gathering exercises
  • Analyzing the information and developing potential solutions
  • Evaluating the implications implicit in each proposed solution
  • Synthesizing the best elements of different schemes into a unified proposal
  • Recommending the proposed scheme
  • Developing the scheme

Our primary objective in the early tasks is to define the functional, economic and social constraints and opportunities inherent in the project.

Open communication between client, architect, and consultants will prove critical to accurately defining appropriate project goals.
