THINKING THROUGH MODEL MAKING
We will use computer software programmes such as Autocad and Sketchup to digitally model the developing designs for the project, however, for the early …More
stages of the design process, it was decided that physical models will be produced in order to quickly and efficiently test our ideas, particularly for the flexible furniture designs, where we will work to a scale of 1:2.
This will be completed in a workshop environment, where we will invite undergraduate students to aid our conceptual investigations. Through an iterative process, we will combine a general understanding of ergonomics and the application of anthropometric data with a creative exploration into the possibilities of flexible furniture, which will ultimately result in a collective critique of a series of tangible design solutions.
The primary objective of the workshop scenario is to efficiently test multiple ideas so that we can provide TASC studio with a thoughtful and innovative design solution that will not only enhance their workspace in terms of improved flexibility and adaptability but also one that will encourage social interaction and creativity.
After a series of mock-up models have been tested, the design for the flexible furniture concept will be finalised before we produce a final presentation model. We will then present the final model alongside a digital publication that will exhibit the overall design of the renovation of the TASC studio.

PLANNING
As a group, we have decided to meet up once a week to further discuss the details of the project. In the first few meetings, we brainstormed ideas of how we would plan the …More
event and organise group work. With a finalised design brief and session plan, we were able to plan ahead and outline which workshop facilities would be required during the events weeks e.g. computer suites. We were also able to determine how the group would complete each task. For this, we decided the team would be split into smaller groups, with specifically assigned tasks. We have also agreed to brief our team both every morning to ensure each team member is completely aware of the desired outcomes and at the end of each day to review the team's progress.

WORKSHOP - SKILL DEVELOPMENT
As an architecture student and a future architect, we need more skills than simply designing a building. In our group, students will be able to learn …More
essential skills that they will be needed in the future and for their study.
Furthermore, we will also provide a workshop for the student to learn how to use 2D and 3D software such as AutoCAD and Sketchup, to design and built flexible furniture models. These workshops will serve as a testbed for the physical model and allow students to visualise in 3-dimensional ways.
Other than that, we will also provide workshops for students to learn photoshop and In-design for the publication.
