Design Development With Inspiration And Imagination
By James R Blunt
Design development takes imagination. It begins in the mind of
the architect. He or she sees something that no one else can envision.
They see a building in their mind and begin to sketch it out.
They give it form and function in the form of construction documents
or blueprints.
The outline makes its way into the hands of the builder. The
construction crew gathers together the materials and begins to
bring the building to fruition. Before long the entire world can
see the vision the architect had and it is ready to be inhabited.
Ability To See Something From Nothing
It all starts with a spark of imagination and the ability to
see something from nothing. The inspiration can be from an object,
necessity, or past buildings. Architects in the field must know
from where to draw their inspiration. Each architect is different.
One may see an inspiration in nature, such as a falling waterfall.
Others might view the classical structures left to the world
from the Renaissance era. Some may find another architectural
engineering style to be a wonderful work of art in itself. Frank
Lloyd Wright has inspired countless architects with his incredible
structures.
Owning A Unique Home Or Office
People want to own a home designed in the same architectural
style of Wright. Builders should be becoming fairly used to the
growing trend with consumers to own a unique home or office.
Design development is a series of processes. First there is the
inspiration and the research. It then progresses to discussions
with the builder and then to the customer who requested the design
services.
All Buildings Are Based On The Beginnings Of An Idea
These three steps to building a structure are the same, regardless
of whether the building is a cathedral, a suburban home, a sprawling
mansion or a 100 stories tall office building. They all start
out with the beginning idea and then are actualized based on that
thought.
It may seem fairly simple when you look at the process broken
down into specific steps, but the design development stage is
actually quite complex. It is one thing to have an inspiration
or a spark of an idea and quite a different thing when the mechanics
of the building must be addressed.
After all, you cannot place the entire weight of a structure
onto thin sheets of glass. Mathematical calculations must be used
to ensure the building is erected to the proper specifications
and codes.

Little Known Architecture Facts....
What are the different types of architecture?
There are many types of architects. But to
be more specific, the architects specialize in different areas.
All usually have the same background of a Bachelor's degree but
some chose not to design buildings.
A landscape architect specializes in shaping
nature. The "green" architect designs homes and buildings to conserve
energy and help protect the Earth's resources. Some architects
work only on historic preservation. There are many areas in which
an architect can focus his or her talents.
Even minimalist styles are all designed
by someone. Landscape architects design the land. Industrial architects
control those steel high rise buildings that soar over the horizon.
Your home which comforts you after a long day is part of the architects
vastness and limitlessness.
