ARC 3210-Ro - Design Development Phase - Interior Design, Motif/Ornament Development, and Analytique

Oct 28, 2026

ARC 3210-Ro design development phase guides students in refining architectural design proposals after schematic design. The module details required activities from revisions based on review plans to interior development, final drawings, perspectives/photo montage, analogue model production, and ornament workshop work. It also explains motif/ornament incorporation, the purpose and components of analytique, and a three-step workflow for thumbnails, pencil/pen composition, and watercolor shade-shadow rendering. It concludes with final review deliverables across site plans, elevations, sections, details, diagrams, and model presentation.

These refinements should continue to address the project’s program, client requirements, and user needs. As outlined in the course schedule, design development includes the following activities: • Begin Revisions from Review-Plan, Section, Elevation • Begin Interior Design of major space • Begin Final Drawings, Perspectives / Photo Montage, Analogue Model • Ornament Workshop / Development of Ornament / Motifs • Layout Details at Large Scale • Review Analytique Layout Options • Draft Analytique and start pen overlay • Shade and Shadow Casting • Watercolor Rendering ARC 3210-Ro 􀀁 􀀂􀀃 􀀄 • Preparation for Final Review-Finalize Analog Model, Print Boards • Hand in Project / Pin Up Materials for Review • Final Design Review with Professional Jury • Project DD Phase Reflections • Digital Portfolio Due INTERIOR DESIGN Some of the most extraordinary experiences in architecture occur within building interiors. These are the spaces we inhabit and experience more than the external façade. As such each designer must approach the design of the interior with care and attention to detail. During the design development phase, each student is required to fully develop a significant interior space in floor plan, ceiling plan, interior elevations, section, and perspective. An entire board will be devoted to the development of this significant interior space. MOTIF / ORNAMENT DEVELOPMENT “A building without ornament,” said George Santayana,“is like the heaven without stars.” As part of the design development phase, each student will work on incorporating several motifs as part of architectural ornament for their design project. The students will have the rare opportunity to participate in the Art and Science of Ornament workshop by the ICAA and undergo a series of design exercises that will help them learn the fundamental principles that govern successful architectural ARC 3210-Ro 􀀂 􀀂􀀃 􀀄 ornament. The successful design and application of architectural ornament will be manifest particularly in the final analytique rendering. ANALYTIQUE “To design is to compose, but to compose one must have objects with which to compose; for the architect these are the ‘elements of architecture,’” wrote John Harbeson. Embedded in the Ecole des BeauxArts curriculum (which descended from the Academie royale d'Architecture in 1671 during the reign of Louis XIV) was analytique rendu (analytical rendering) . An analytique was defined as a codified design problem that dealt with the elements of architectural design. It consisted of a single page composition of items such as a floor plan, elevation, detail, ornament, perspective, etc. The purpose of the analytique drawing was to demonstrate that a student had gained both an understanding and developed their skills in the following areas: • Sensibility to proportion • Feeling for composition • Character in drawing • Appreciation of ornament • Knowledge of descriptive geometry in projections and in shadesand shadows In order to create the final watercolor analytique, each student will follow three simple steps. STEP 1-Create Thumbnail Concepts for Analytique Composition Each student should compose four (4) thumbnail concepts for their analytique composition. Each thumbnail can be created on trace paper orin your sketchbook and will be a minimum of 3"x5" in size. Each composition can have an arrangement of the following items: floor plan, elevation, site plan, building section, wall section, bay elevation, column ARC 3210-Ro 􀀃 􀀂􀀃 􀀄 order, ornament details,

FAQs

What activities are included in the ARC 3210-Ro design development phase?

Students begin revisions from review-plan, interior design of major space, and final drawings including perspectives/photo montage and an analogue model. The phase also includes ornament workshop work, layout details, and analytical layout review, plus drafting, overlay, shade/shadow, and watercolor rendering.

What is an analytique in this course context?

An analytique is a codified design problem addressing elements of architectural design. It is defined as a single-page composition including items such as plans, elevations, details, ornament, and perspective, intended to demonstrate the student’s understanding and skills.

What are the three steps to produce the final watercolor analytique?

Step 1 creates four thumbnail concepts for the analytique composition. Step 2 draws the chosen composition in pencil/pen on a large watercolor paper sheet after instructor approval. Step 3 applies watercolor color, shade, and shadow to demonstrate materiality, depth, and character.
