A parti or parti pris [1] comes from the French prendre parti meaning "to make a decision".[2] Often referred to as the big idea,[3] it is the chief organizing thought or decision behind an architect's design presented in the form of a basic diagram and / or a simple statement.[4] The development of the parti frequently, but not always, precedes the development of plan, section, and elevation diagrams. [5]
In a figurative way parti pris is used when a researcher starts with a preconceived opinion to prove that this opinion is true.
