Making room for the public intellectual
Stage 1: Predesign
Stage 1 is devoted to investigating the contextyal, spatial, environmental,political and programmatic requirements and conditions of the project and producting a reverse brief. Complex projects require rigorous research at the outset to ensure that the conditions of the project are understood before concepts are put in place. Inevitable, some of this research occur by testing various conceptual ideas against the existing conditions to raise issues and highlight problems and oppotunities.
