Architectural Design Essentials: From Concept to Reality

Get to know Xavier, Nico, and Maria, the founders of El Sindicato Arquitectura. They tell you about their professional careers and how they got started, as well as their biggest influences, what motivates them to create, and how they approach their projects.

Begin with the planning phase and develop concept-driven strategies by analyzing a series of key factors such as the client, intended use, end user, legal regulations, and the physical environment. Be thorough in your research as these strategies will guide you throughout the design process and help you with decision-making.

Next, enter into the preliminary design phase, building on your conceptual groundwork and using it to define the space's functionality, its shape and size, and the structural layout.

Now it's finally time to create your architectural design and specify all the essential details, from selecting materials and setting dimensions to drawing and modeling the definitive plans. Bring your project to life by inserting custom furniture and other additions such as lighting and landscaping.

Now you have a fail-safe method for transforming any concept into ready-to-build architectural designs.
