As I walk through the city's older neighborhoods, I notice the way the proportions of the buildings seem to have been carefully considered. The ratio of window to wall, the balance of solids and voids, and the relationship between the building's base, middle, and top all seem to work together to create a sense of harmony and balance. It's as if the architects who designed these buildings were aware that the proportions would be seen and felt by the people who lived and worked within them.
Initial sketches and basic spatial layouts to explore the project's concept. Design Development: architecture notes
Inspired by Christopher Alexander, your architecture notes should eventually evolve into a personal "pattern language." By documenting recurring solutions to design problems—such as the perfect window-to-wall ratio for a workspace or a specific way to handle a threshold—you create a toolkit that makes you a faster, more intuitive designer.
