Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment R efinement of Design Brie f Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Design Brief Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief Client’s objectives are those end objectives which the client design brief calls for. This usually does not take into account sustainability and hence is liable for a critique. These objectives mainly focused on functional and economic gains.

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Sustainable Design Objectives are derived from the client’s objectives A critical analysis of the client’s objectives with regards to different impacts Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

Global and local sustainability Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Sustainable Indicators Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief Economic, Social and Environmental All of these indicators go hand in hand without any preference in forming the design guidelines All the long terms objectives take into account the short term effects

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Sustainable Design Statements Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief Basic needs Planning and design philosophy Local self sufficiency Ecosystem analysis Topography preservation Architectural vocabulary Infrastructure and built capital Open spaces and other facilities Water & energy strategies Phasing strategy.

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief Planning and design concepts are developed based on the sustainable design statements and these are to be tested in light of the anticipated impacts First run to be tested for sustainability Open for criticism, check and refinement

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Development Impact Assessment Taking into account the entire development which includes economic, social, environmental, traffic and visual impacts All factors taken together irrespective of material gains Design evaluated on all these criteria of DIA Computer models may be run to ensure sustainability Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Is the Design Sustainable and has Positive Impacts? The design has to satisfy all the requirements of sustainability It should have positive development impacts A vital step to reach overall harmony with economy and environment Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning and Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Refinement of Design Brief If the design is NOT sustainable: Critique and refinement of client's objectives. What about extremely high density housing? What about noise and air pollution from the traffic? What about emergencies? What about water quality? Refine and run the mode again: new planning and design concepts Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ? Sustainable Design Objectives Sustainable Design Guidelines Sustainable Design Statements Preliminary Planning And Design Concepts Sustainable Indicators Development Impact Assessment Refinement of Design Brief Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood Design Brief

ARC Prof. Alshuwaikhat Sustainable Design of City/Neighborhood/Project A series of steps logically broken down into several tasks Overall sustainability achieved with constant checks and refinement of client’s objectives Such a strategy which incorporates sustainability along with systematic spatial analysis as the main conceptual planning and design approach will guarantee successful project Sustainable Design with positive Impacts ?
