The Design Brief is necessary when the client is not clear what the brief
should be. This is not as extraordinary as it sounds; often clients are aware
that new space needs to be provided or existing space rearranged but the problem
may be so complex, and the number of people that need to be consulted so large,
that the client is not in a position to analyse this.
This is an area where the designer can provide a service in space planning (sometimes called 'interior architecture') which clients are often unaware exists. This helps the client to determine his/her needs in detail and to set the parameters for the whole project that may follow.
This can be a relatively simple exercise, e.g. examining how an existing building can be adapted to a new use, or a complex process, consulting exhaustively with the client's key staff, utilising adjacency theory to provide a detailed analysis of the client's requirements, developing this into planning diagrams from which floor plans can be developed.
