LIVE 180 - Como começar um Projeto de Arquitetura

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to start an architecture project, based on insights from Cairo Okuda's video. Whether you're a student, a professional, or an enthusiast, this guide will help you navigate the initial stages of your architecture project effectively.

Step 1: Define Your Project Goals

• Identify the purpose of your project. Consider what you want to achieve, such as residential, commercial, or public space design.
• Set specific objectives, such as sustainability, aesthetics, or functionality.
• Research similar projects to gather inspiration and understand best practices.

Step 2: Gather Necessary Resources

• List the tools and resources you'll need, including software (like AutoCAD or SketchUp) and physical materials (like sketch pads and models).
• Consider joining a community or network for support and advice. This could be a group on social media or a professional association.

Step 3: Create a Project Timeline

• Outline a timeline that details each phase of your project. This could include:
  • Initial research and concept development
  • Design drafting and revisions
  • Final presentations and reviews
• Set deadlines for each phase to keep your project on track.

Step 4: Conduct Site Analysis

• Visit the project site to assess its conditions, including:
  • Topography and geography
  • Existing structures
  • Environmental factors like sunlight and wind patterns
• Take notes and photographs to inform your design decisions.

Step 5: Develop Initial Concepts

• Start sketching initial ideas based on your goals and site analysis. Use various methods:
  • Hand-drawn sketches
  • Digital sketches using software
• Focus on different design approaches and experiment with layouts.

Step 6: Solicit Feedback

• Share your concepts with peers, mentors, or clients to gather feedback.
• Ask specific questions about functionality, design aesthetics, and practical considerations.
• Use feedback to refine your designs and address potential issues early.

Step 7: Finalize Your Design

• Incorporate the feedback into your final design.
• Prepare detailed drawings and documentation that outline your design decisions, materials, and construction methods.
• Consider creating a presentation to communicate your design clearly to stakeholders.

Conclusion

Starting an architecture project involves careful planning, research, and creativity. By defining your goals, gathering resources, conducting site analysis, and soliciting feedback, you can successfully navigate the initial stages of your project. As you progress, remain open to adjustments and new ideas to enhance your design. For more in-depth learning, consider joining the Metodologia de Projeto community linked in the video description.
