3. Detailed design

Following contextual analysis and the development of initial conceptual ideas, the detailed design phase transforms your concepts into a tangible design proposition that relates to a particular place.

Introduction to Detailed Design



Through an iterative design process, the aim is to turn design ideas into something that is concrete and deliverable.

There are several design tools that can be used to transform initial design ideas into a more detailed urban design proposition.

These include different types of drawings: site plan, section, elevation, masterplan, etc., and use different graphic techniques in their representation: mapping, sketching, 3D visualisations, etc.
