Design conceptualization
Design conceptualization encompasses the initial design tasks that contribute to 
establishing the overarching structural configuration. These tasks can be performed 
after the initial layers of the functional architecture have been fashioned. Developing 
a conceptual design involves the identification of abstract structural elements to 
devise broad design strategies intended to resolve pivotal design challenges. It is 
not crucial to stipulate the conceptual design elements meticulously at this time 
since the concept will be modified and refined as the functional architecture contin-
ues to evolve and provide additional technical insights. It may be desirable to defer 
embracing design interpretations that are founded on speculative or deductive con-
clusions. It is advisable to maintain the conceptual design solutions nebulous until 
technical evidence corroborates the selection of a preferred design arrangement.
