WHAT IS A DESIGN
BRIEF?
A design brief is a written
statement which details the client’s
expectations and the functions
of a proposed building. It should
describe the facilities to be provided
and the activities to be performed.
It should also clearly identify the
broad policies within which these
are to be achieved in respect of the
time, cost and quality.
The brief is a dynamic document
which is refined throughout the
design process. The operational
success of a building is directly
related to a clear identification of
the functions to be performed in
the proposed building, resolved
through a good design process.
