Design is a creation for purpose. Design intent is a clear and concise statement that expresses the objectives of the design team relative to a project or a portion a project.
[1] No clear direction to design efforts can be made without a clear intent. Design intent can be expressed at various levels of a project, from the project as a whole, to individual spaces, to systems of environmental conditions within spaces. It describes the general quality and key attributes that any acceptable solution to the brief must capture. Expressing a clear design intent allows possible solutions to an owner’s brief to be most likely fully acceptable.
Architectural design services are involved in the early stages of planning. The architectural unit provides early assistance and pre-design services to assist client to assemble the appropriate pieces before diving too for into real estate decisions without the proper tools.
[2] In many cases, owner’s brief provides only a minimal statement of requirements. A design intent statement interpret such needs to a description of the design team’s vision of a proposed solution, which includes all the various elements, systems requirements, and limitations of a project, such as ergonomic, reconfiguration, lighting system, maintenance, energy efficiency, as well as the philosophy of a company. Instead of defining specific methods, design intent should describe a clear destination for design efforts, so that other possible means of solution are not excluded.
