ABSTRACT
Stage 2 sets the Architectural Concept for a project. Proposals that align with the Site Information and the Project Brief, including the Spatial Requirements, are prepared. Regular Design Reviews are used to seek comments from the client and other Project Stakeholders and the design is iterated in response. Any Project Brief Derogations are agreed, or the Project Brief is adjusted to align with the Architectural Concept. The Architectural Concept proposals must also be iterated to accommodate inputs from the design team and from specialist consultants, including the Strategic Engineering requirements. The proposals should demonstrate that the Spatial Requirements are being achieved, along with any adjacency requirements. A Stage 2Design Programme must be prepared, in line with the Project Programme and Responsibility Matrix, to guide the design process and to ensure that the Information Requirements are included in the Stage Report signed off by the client.
