Begin with the experience

Before imagining a final form, think about the experience you want to create. Light, movement and relationships between spaces can start a useful design conversation.

Make the constraints clear

Write down the scale, site, program and project needs. A few useful details help each suggestion stay connected to the real problem.

Ask for options, not one answer

Use early concepts to compare directions. Each version can raise a new question and make the path toward a solution clearer.

You remain the designer

Intelligent tools can help you start sooner. Architectural judgment, review and decisions still depend on your knowledge and perspective.
