Partikiw
In building design, the word ‘partikiw’ refers to a formal collection of ideas that have contributed to the early stages of the design for a building. It can include sketches, diagrams and statements. The partikiw is presented to the client as a summary of the current thinking of the designer. If the partikiw is approved, the design process will proceed and a more detailed set of ideas will be developed. The word is thought to derive from the French term ‘parti pris’ which refers to an early opinion formed without adequate evidence.
