Design Process: A Primer for Architectural and Interior Design, New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1995. From the first moment when we question how buildings and spaces are created, we begin the continuing process of assimilating assimilate v. to completely understand and begin to use new ideas, information etc assimilate v. to completely understand and begin to use new ideas, information etc. The experience takes many forms: we all take varied routes with divergent divergent a. different goals. The base of design knowledge resides in an understanding of how to build, coupled to a method of understanding how buildings are used. divergent a. different What follows is a brief study of four areas that are fundamental to design.

The creation of shelter embraces the complete range of elements making up any building in three dimensions. Architecture and design are complex; however, the idea of enclosure, in and of itself is simple and therefore a good place to begin. By creating a structure separating outside from inside, the designer has exercised his or her craft. When we to identify root concepts, we see that all buildings in variably consist of floor(s), walls and roof. The materials vary widely, but the concept of enclosure remains constant. Research Over the course of our practices，we assimilate specific project based knowledge. In school and beyond, we are confronted with the need to continually gather information.
