The Design Development phase represents a crucial stage in the evolution of a design project, where initial concepts are fleshed out into detailed plans ready for implementation. It requires close collaboration between designers, clients, consultants, and contractors to achieve a successful outcome.
During concept design, the focus is on exploring ideas and visions without getting bogged down by scale or constructibility concerns. This phase is vital in the project's early stages, as it is where initial concepts begin to form based on the project brief and gathered information. Through rough sketches, diagrams, and basic design concepts, it's a creative phase that sets the groundwork for the project's progression.
