  • Architectural Design

CONT

The basic traditional design procedure is executed in several stages. In the first stage, the architect develops a program, or list of the client's requirements. In the second stage, or conceptual phase, the architect translates requirements into spaces, relates the spaces and makes sketches, called schematics, to illustrate the concepts. When sufficient information is obtained on the size and general construction of the building, a rough estimate is made of construction cost. If this cost does not exceed the cost budgeted by the client for construction, the next stage, design development, proceeds.

CONT

Influence [de l'informatique] sur le dessin au stade de l'étude-conception. [...] Le calcul électronique apporte une aide précieuse à l'ingénieur, par sa célérité, sa rigueur et la possibilité qu'il donne de «balayer» les diverses solutions d'un problème. Les moyens de l'informatique permettent [...] de cerner avec précision la solution optimale.
