INSPIRATION AND REFERENCE / PRELIMINARY CONCEPTS

References and Preliminary concepts

After the acceptance of the offer and the interview of the clients, the next stage to do 2-3 preliminary concepts and search for references related to those concepts. References will help to show your main ideas, interpretation of the client’s wishes and needs in reference images, of other projects, materials, furniture, or concept images. All references are valid as long as they are related to your story or your concept. Do not get lost in the universe of references; be selective with your material. Sometimes we like many references but not all suits the project or the ideas you want to express. Also, keep in mind that they are only references and should not control your direction of your concept. They are just tools to help you understand and to initiate a dialogue between the client and your team/office. But do not use only references, still you have to do sketches, drawings,  etc..

+Create a document A3 so it can be printed (this document will be printed for your folder and presented in pdf format) present sketches, drawings and solutions, is very often that in the stage of the references you already know which direction, or a general concept. upload the pdf in my courses

the following list is just a guide for the preliminary concepts:

1. Presentation of the main idea, what is the general concept?
2. diagrams that explain your concept
3. site plan proposal (scale that fits an A3) – how the buildings are placed
4. floor plan of the storey type, sketch phase
5. floor plan of the storey where there are common spaces sketch
6. floor plan of the flat type(s) sketch
7. sketches, renders and references photos

Please remember that these are only preliminary, in the next deadline you will have to present the final concept that will be the main axe to follow in your design.
