Can Design Process can be Standardized ?

At its deepest level, nature is random and unpredictable. That, most people would say, is the unavoidable lesson of quantum theory.

 

Try to track the location of an electron and you’ll find only a probability that it is here or there. Measure the spin of an atom and all you get is a 50:50 chance that it is up or down. Watch a photon hit a glass plate and it will either pass through or be reflected, but it’s impossible to know which without measuring it.

​

Similarly the process to be followed to pursue nature in design may also vary from conditions to conditions because of randomness

Processes to be followed in a standard project:

01.

Questioning the site :
What natural elements present on site ?
Investigation on Micro,
                            Meso and
                            Macro level Context

02.

Understanding the site :
Categorizing natural elements present on site :

Categorization for nature of relationship

  • SYMBIOTIC

  1. Parasitic

  2. Mutualism

  3. Complementing

  4. Overlapping

  • NON SYMBIOTIC

Understanding the relationship between different categories and their pros and cons

03.

Finding relationship between Nature and Human :
Finding out the benefits required from prevailing relations for the betterment of humankind in context
Questioning any problematic situation in surrounding which needs to be addressed
Scenarios originating from socio-geographical-environmental condition of site; like flood management in case of Artisan village or creating a micro-climate to help in study environment in case of commercial project.

04.

Prioritizing relationship between Nature and Human :
Deciding the Kind of relationships to be promoted while designing according required program

Categorization for nature of relationship

  • SYMBIOTIC

  1. Parasitic

  2. Mutualism

  3. Complementing

  4. Overlapping

  • NON SYMBIOTIC

05.

Formulation of Brief :
Relationship Considerations
Assumptions about Human-Nature Relationship
Accomodating Client's requiremnets
Design & Dimensions of elements
Decisions for selesction of type of elements for type of relationship considered

06.

Design Developement :
Acomodation of area requirements in design
Design related sketches
Deciding the Kind of relationships to be promoted while designing according required program

  • Dimensions of specific trees and plants

  • Intersection of animals inside the site/building

  • Specification for waterbodies etc
