CONCEPT: WHAT, HOW, WHY?

The most talked thing in designing-world is concept. Concept could be considered as most diverse aspect in designing, as every designer has their own definition about the concept. 

What is the concrete definition of concept? What is the ideal definition of concept? 

What should represent the concept?

The concept is like a wine, it gets better as it gets older. It is consistently referred to an ideology behind the design, but the fact is that, ‘it is a user who proves the ideology to be correct’ and that is the key point behind every successful design. Theoretically, concepts are defined as an abstract idea or general notions that occurs in the mind, the concept is way beyond individual's perception. It is visible through every social dimension and every possible way. The concept challenges the cognitive ability of an individual and demands analytical mind to imagine beyond the applications. It delivers lots of applications in architectural designing, concept not only forms a foundation for the design but in addition gives significant meaning to the building.

The concept is directly proportional to the desired output. Execution of the concept is majorly in relation with the user experience. Philosophically concept is defined as, it is a reverse process of identifying the reasons for the positive or negative experience of a user through a built space. The concept defines the quality of a space, so it is important to think of any concept considering the users at the top priority. 

Ideally a concept is related to the users mind, and mind is known as consciousness in architecture. So we can relate a concept and consciousness of a user to dive into the analysis of the concept. User comfort is an ultimate aim for any architect, comfort is related to the chemical in body called DOPAMINE. It is the feel good neurotransmitter in the human brain, which is the reason for our anticipation of pleasure, increases the drive for doing something, it controls the movement, it awakens the consciousness, and it processes the pain in human’s body. Examining the human brain’s working can assist us to the ideal conceptual definition.

Further, the dopamine designing could open up into the new dimension where the definition of a concept would be an ideal definition. Dopamine designing is necessity of today’s world. This designs could give us more efficient ways of designing. Adding on, combination of science with dopamine designing could be a revolution in today’s crises.   

Abstract is good!
