"Creating architecture involves art and beauty, science and engineering, values and beliefs, friendship and team-working. Building projects are generally divided into a series of stages. Some stages are more creative than others. The concept design stage is generally considered to be the first, and most creative design stage, however this can be a relatively small part of the overall project. It is preceded by a host of non-design activities, such as business planning and justification, brief development and feasibility studies, and it is followed by design development, technical design, procurement and construction, and over all seems to be a lengthy process."
