Scheme Lecture I

Basics of architectural design

What we do is not a stand-alone job
We are part of a large team to produce a product – a building
Client (owner and who pays for the building)
Architect (who designs how the building looks and works)
Interior designers (who designs finishes, furniture etc.)
Structural engineer (who makes the building stand up)
Other engineers (geotechnical, civil, electrical, mechanical, fire)

Scheme Lecture I

Buildings are all around us

Scheme Lecture I


What makes “beautiful” or “good” architecture?
Romantic? Spiritual?
Scheme Lecture I

Innovative?
Different?
Scheme Lecture I


Daring?
Scheme Lecture I

Form follows function
Louis Sullivan
Guaranty Building, 1896

Scheme Lecture I
10


The house is a machine for living
Le Corbusier (from “Verse une architecture” or “Towards a new

architecture”, 1923)
Dom-Ino House, 1914

Scheme Lecture I
11

Ornament is crime
Adolf Loos
Villa Muller, 1930

Scheme Lecture I
12


Less is more
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Barcelona (German) Pavilion, 1929

Scheme Lecture I
13

Less is a bore
Robert Venturi
Venturi House, 1964

Scheme Lecture I
14


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

English proverb

Scheme Lecture I
15

The three elements of architecture:

Firmitas – Firmness – Structural engineering!
Utilitas – Commodity – Good planning
Venustas – Delight – Aesthetics
Vitruvius
(From “De architectura” or “The Ten Books of Architecture”, 15 BC)

Scheme Lecture I
16


Good planning
Look up case-studies:
Similar projects
Similar sites, sizes
Genius is 1% inspiration
and 99% perspiration
Thomas Edison

Scheme Lecture I
17

Good planning
More often than not, someone has

already done it before…

Scheme Lecture I
18


How big is it? How much do I need?

Scheme Lecture I
19

Natural light

Scheme Lecture I
20


Natural light
The Shard Stansted Airport

Scheme Lecture I
21

Natural light
Strike a balance
between light and
thermal comfort

Scheme Lecture I
22


Building services
Allow:
At least 500mm for ducts, pipes etc.
Between 50-150mm for sprinklers and pipes
Around 150mm for lighting and ceiling
Around 100mm for deflections, tolerances
Around 100-200mm for raised floor
Scheme Lecture I
23

Building services
“Easier” in steel
Web openings
Castellated and cellular beams
“New” systems such as Slimdek floors

Scheme Lecture I

Basics of structural design

The grid
Assuming that architectural form and shape (massing) and
general split of uses is established by architects…
Start thinking about:
• Column positions
• Column spacing
• Core positions
Respecting requirements
of uses (e.g. parking)
Scheme Lecture I
26


The grid
Parking typically has

specific spacings
Office tenants may have

requirements for minimum
column spacing
Residential floors often have columns aligned

with apartment divisions
Special uses (cinemas, halls, shopping) may

have different requirements
Scheme Lecture I
27

The grid
Grid mismatches will require “transfer structures”
In concrete buildings: Large beams or slabs
In steel buildings: Girders or trusses

Scheme Lecture I
28


The grid

Scheme Lecture I
29

Load paths
Gravity Loads
Vertical loads from slabs
(slab self-weight, finishes, people)
Loads onto beams
Loads onto columns
Loads onto foundations
Ground
Scheme Lecture I
30


Load paths
Lateral Loads
Horizontal loads
(wind, earthquakes)
Loads onto façade
Loads via diaphragm / floor bracing
Loads onto lateral system (bracing,

frame, core)
Ground
Scheme Lecture I
31

Load paths
Load combinations

Scheme Lecture I
32


Floor framing
Normally, secondary beams

are longer than primary
beams
Scheme Lecture I
33

Floor framing
Most common floor system is composite slab

(profiled metal deck with concrete topping)
Precast concrete slabs with concrete topping also common

Scheme Lecture I
34


Floor framing
✓ ✓✓
There is no right or wrong design solution
(but some solutions are better than others for a given scenario)
