How to design in the 21st century? Today the problem is less about technical capacity but rather the ethical capacity to achieve a meaningful project. This lecture deals with an integrated design approach and tries to define 9 rules for ensuring integral design. Based on the 3 principles defined by the Roman architect and engineer Vitrivius in his book “de architectura” firmitas, utilitas, venustas, it gives simple useful guidance for designers, clients and contractors toward achieving integral quality. The lecture is based on the recent experiences and projects designed by Chris Poulissen and Laurent Ney.
