Architectural design process | Form, Orientation, Design a Museum.

This video shows the steps how to shape the form and orientation of a building to design it and how to have different approaches, then finally choosing the best one.
Here we are asked to design a museum which is a cultural representative in a city and it is supposed to communicate and interact with its neighborhood and other attractions.
This practice helps you finding a better perspective to design different buildings and to design more logically and relevantly.

Thank you for explained the process.I found the content very usefull.Other comments says why lines or paralell.They should know that architecture design has lots of aspects and approach. In this video he has used one of them.

Thank for your comment. I’m glad that it was useful for you.

There is a handsome and informative book on museum exhibition design from the eyes of a famed SF bay area museum exhibition designer with decades of experience in planning and designing museum exhibitions. The book is available at Fine Arts Press. The book should be of interest to anyone working in or interested in museum exhibition design, as well as residential design in regards to fine art installation.

Thanks so much sir

[@Architecturelesson]

You are very welcome.

The issue with this process is that it follows a diagrammatic reading instead of a qualitative analysis with argument. It’s plausible a museum needs to ignore all context.. Too much arbitrary carving and top down design here. Depending on the problem it may be worthwhile to start inside out rather than outside in.

[@don_specialfx2632]

Context is important. The best place to begin usually is from the allotted site and its surrounding constraints. With the site defined and setbacks considered; context can then be established in relation to the surroundings and neighborhood, such that entry points, assessibility, orientation, service points, view points etc, can be established.
However, it is important to note that surrounding constraints does not always force the shape of a building necessarily as function (inside to out) heavily influences the form and shape!

I didn’t get why would make parallel lines at the backsides of the building, u just cutting gross area. If u wanted to straighten the walls then just make parallel interior walls

[@Architecturelesson]

Thank you for your comment.
That can be another option too. In this video the purpose was to indicate how the foot print of the building can be shaped and formed by being affected by the elements from outside in the neighbourhood. But sometimes this process may start from inside (interior walls) to outside. It depends on what approach we choose to design.

I don't understand why you didn't directly address the axes, but rather, did so in an indirect way. I find this perverse. Regardless the envelope you choose, this neighborhood will never be satisfied with the building because the building has its own independent logic at odds with the logic of the neighborhood.

[@Architecturelesson]

Thank you for watching the video, your comment and sharing your opinion on this video. This video is just an example of one approach out of different possible approaches for designing a building with respect to the neighborhood. In a real situation we may have different buildings and conditions and urban design bylaws from one city to another one.

[@miketackabery7521]

​@@Architecturelessonand thank you also. I understand that it's just one approach but that's one of the worst things about modern thinking on architecture. Too many of the approaches leave us with unhappy people. And unhappy for good reasons.

​@@miketackabery7521Diversity is human.
You're the same humanbeing that would complain and be bored out of life if there was only one approach or claim to solving problems, or say 1 building type to house all diverse human needs, interests, behaviors and expectations.
Now, there are several building types in architecture, serving different functions, catering for different needs. A museum will differ from a prison quarters in its overall context and intention. Primarily there are 3 key principles that every building must adhere regardless of where it is to be built; FUNCTION, STABILITY, AESTHETICS. These 3 on a basic level guides an architects interpretation of space, form, shape.
Aside these 3, there are other vast considerations an Architect must make; like topography and soil itself, human behavior and feeling, materials, cost, bylaws, brief, culture, colors, etc relevant to the design to which context becomes very important.
Moreso, because gravity is the number 1 constraint, every building must have a site. Each site on earth is unique and helps shape a building. So much that even if the architect starts the design from inside, he must end up considering the site outside, putting it in context therefore shaping his building. The approach you take in the end, helps the design accomplish its goal.

[@don_specialfx2632]

Architecture is complex, and to agree with Frank Gehry, the highest freedom you can get is about 20% if you're unbelievably skilled. The rest is taken up by constraints imposed in nature. That's why we try to find solutions around these constraints.

As a 2nd year architecture student still trying to understand form development and concepts , this was utterly confusing 🫤. Nevertheless I get that there are different aspects to how to develop a form
