4. Introduction to the SKETCHBOOK
As part of the Major Project, you will be required to complete a sketchbook.
This will be a record of your thoughts, your actions, your decision-making process that will span over the entire semester.
What should your sketchbook look like? YOU DECIDE! Drawings, notes, photos, magazine cut-outs… It is a physical demonstration of what you are thinking. It must be used and updated each week.
I will be providing the sketch book to you in our 2nd class.
It will need to be handed in as part of your Week 7 presentation.

5. Design Process
The project delivery process may be linear and orderly but the design process is anything but…it is circular, multi-phasic, re-iterative and often goes in many directions at once…

6. What about housing? Housing is a very personal thing to design…
We all live somewhere – a house, an apartment, rez, a room, a tent, a hobbit hole!
If we live on the street we are HOMELESS.
What about housing in Canada?
In groups – brainstorm 1 of the
following aspects of the house:
Geometric abstraction
Social activity
Biological comfort
Business enterprise
Construction method/technique
Cultural expression
