In architecture, a parti is an organizing thought or decision behind an architect's design, presented in the form of a parti diagram, parti sketch, or a simple statement.[1][2] The term comes from 15th century French, in which "parti pris" meant "decision taken."[3]
The development of the parti frequently precedes the development of plan, section, and elevation diagrams.[4]
