Page 6-8 – Initial ideas On each page include: – The ideas – Developments – Materials – Construction / processes – Additional research (if needed) – Evaluate (including sustainability issues) – Check against specification – Check with the user – NO MODELLING
Initial ideas example
Initial ideas - suggested layout Survey NAME Idea with developments (NO MODELLING) Client Opinion - survey, quotes etc Annotate: Suggested materials Possible processes Specification Point Comments / Justification 1.1 Appearance In here explain how well it did / did not perform in this area and WHY. Comment on as many counters as possible. 1.2 etc 1.3 etc etc Sustainability Write issues here Additional research? Evaluate – strengths and weaknesses
