Integrated Design Processes
A whole team of design-experts collaborates simultaneously on any relevant aspect of the project like function, design, cost or time-management from the very beginning. The architectural and urban design is informed by all these aspects already at it’s earliest stage. Therefore the program and budget requirements can be fulfilled very professionally and efficiently. Integrated Design as a design strategy means to realize projects with a very high cost benefit advantage.
Conceptional Planning Process
Architecture develops from the spatial concepts of the design strategy. The following components and parameters (such as cost-benefit-analyses, quality of space, building quality, share, environment-sustainability / ecology, running costs, construction-phases and investment of budget, investment / profitability, technical know-how, technical equipment, maximal area utilisation, low energy optimisation, utilisation of floor space, energy resources, volume of invest, live-cycles) are to develop entirely or contribute to a specific project.
