Conceptual Design
Concept design is a critical phase in architectural design which sets the tone and direction for the entire project. This initial stage involves brainstorming ideas and generating briefs, developing sketches, and creating design concepts that respond to the client's brief and site context. Following the concept design stage, architects follow the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) stages, which define the process from design to completion. During the conceptual phase, these stages include: Stage 1- preparation and briefing ; Stage 2 - concept design and Stage 3 - developed design.
