– Scope (synthesis design brief)
– Analysis (collect data, study historical development, interpretation qualities, bottlenecks opportunities)
– Vision (objective and future scenario)
– Concepts (spatial translation, principled choices, proposals and solutions)
– Design (implementation concepts in actual situation)
