Definition and Origins of Design to Value.. With roots in both the rapid iterating of product design and the holistic thinking of total architecture of the past, Design to Value combines the relentless seeking of value with a clarity of purpose.Each project is unique, but an ethos and approach prevail: you focus on what you want the project to do, how it should best function and who it should serve –rather than a specific material outcome..

In this sense, Design to Value begins with near-anthropological analysis, delving deep into the various needs of each project’s constituents, from client to planner to end users.Describing the needs of all of the stakeholders in a project leads to a ‘problem statement’.Unlike a traditional brief, which works to corral a project before it even begins, effectively shutting down possibilities, a problem statement opens them up.

The problem statement pinpoints the gap between the existing state and the desired state (of a company, a site, a process) and defines the core values that will drive the project.This, of course, runs counter to how many architects and engineers work today.

Normally in design and construction, a client hires an architect with a predefined brief in hand.

The very descriptor –brief– points to a system that diminishes the basis of a project, marginalising it to a minor, condensed idea rather than an expansive and radial statement of purpose.by placing sensitive equipment near grids and cores), introducing new steelwork, converting ground-floor units or older, sturdier buildings, or localised solutions such as spreader plates, analytical benches, and even active dampening systems..
