There is a necessary shift in design approach – using performance analysis to inform early-stage design rather than as an end-of-process validation tool.
The first in a three-part series, we show you how to optimise your concepts through the prior analysis of the following:
Climate
Context
Building Use
Design Brief
It also outlines some pertinent questions to that help you get the best out of your design brief and respond in a creative and flexible manner.

Start ModelingTechnology can transform and increase efficiency in key stages of a construction project. Some of these stages include RFP (Request for Proposals), pre-con, bidding & awarding, and final construction.
With the focus on space planning, display management, signage, and revenue generation, it is no wonder practitioners are turning to 3D modeling to increase efficiency, and decrease capital costs.
The philosophy of project managing teams of software engineers effectively is rich with new ideas. Unlike building project management, project management in software has focused on the micro.
Using practical examples, this paper provides insights into ways architects can leverage analysis during concept and schematic stages to create high-performing buildings.
The third design brief in our series on High-Performance Design: learn how analysis revealed strategies for our case study design.
Ever wondered how to go about optimising your building envelope? We’ve set out 5 steps every architect can follow to achieve a high-performance facade.
Firms often struggle to adopt new technologies and practices, but those that do so successfully hold a significant advantage over their competitors.
We dive deep and investigate the four rules of thumb commonly used in early-stage design.
Discover five crucial ways you can shape your building’s performance, right from its inception.
