It articulates the intended function, spatial organization, structural logic, material approach, and environmental performance, and serves as a reference point throughout a project.
It covers functional requirements, safety, accessibility, durability, constructability, and energy efficiency, as well as aesthetics and
The building principle is developed early in design, based on site analysis, program, and constraints. It informs
Examples include a low-energy principle prioritizing passive design, insulation, airtightness, and efficient systems; a modular principle
It is not a formal code term, but it underpins compliance with planning and building regulations, and
