DESIGN STRATERGIES
it refers to putting together a plan to achieve an objective
or goal. This strategy can help differentiate our clients from
their competition.
Strategy is an integral part of any design, Architectural Design is nowhere beyond this
approach. One cannot just design for the heck of it. Design strategy, as per me, shall
consist of atleast -
• Understanding the project.
• Understanding User's/Developer's demand or requirements (spaces and activities).
• Site and context understanding and analysis(for site/masterplanning).
• Your planning and designing ideology, style or approach.
• Physical Programming (zoning; arrangement; grouping; - of acrivities/spaces) which
efficiently incorporates the above.
• Understanding building material and technology which suits your physical
programming.
• Expression of your design (appearance, ideas it reflects, political aesthetics)
WHAT IS DESIGN STRATEGY?
So that brings us to the final question… will a design strategy result in a better
creative solution? The answer, if the design process is well thought out and executed,
then it will become obvious on whether or not the strategy was a success.
• As designers, our objective is clear, we need to absorb all the information at hand
from our clients, have a complete understanding of the objective and goal and be
able to bridge the gap between creative solution thinking and the intended
purpose of the business strategy.
• The result: a better and custom defined design that communicates a clear message
to the specific audience we want to reach.

HOW TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE DESIGN STRATEGY
1) Define your problem.
Who are you? What do you stand for? What is unique about your problem. (compared
with the many others available)? Defining your problem may be more difficult than you
think but is an important part of creating your design strategy – you need to know where
you are before thinking about where you’re headed!
