You are to take on the role as an interior designer. Your task is to redesign your home kitchen to make it more innovative in design and as a result improving your home lifestyle.
Use the factors that effect design to make it more innovative.
Function - look at the function of your kitchen. How can you improve the way it functions and how your audience functions within it?
Aesthetics - how can you improve the look of your kitchen? How can the design elements be used to improve the visual appeal of your kitchen?
Health and safety - identify any health and safety issues within your present kitchen, can you improve these?
Environmental - can you design the kitchen so that it is more environmentally friendly? By using recycled materials, conserving water etc.
- You are to use the chapter 1 & 5 of your text book to help you formulate a design brief, recording the needs of your client.
- Create a project management plan for this project outlining the key dates of completion for the project including a break down of when each stage of the design process will be completed – this should include a gantt chart. Refer to Chapter 8 (page 83) in your textbook to help explain what a gantt chart is.
- You should also create a finance plan outlining all the costs for your kitchen design development. This should be outlined on a spreadsheet using Excel. Refer to page 84 and 238 - 239 of your text book.
- Research principles of good kitchen design and make a dot point summary of the principles you need to take into consideration when designing your kitchen.
- Make a dot point list of innovations that you could add to your kitchen eg. something that makes your kitchen different and better than other kitchens, or something that hasn't been used yet. Link to innovative kitchen video.
- You need to create and conduct a market research interview on at least 3 people within the audience group that you are targeting your kitchen design to. Identify any needs or design opportunities and add these as requirements to the design brief.
- You are to create a criteria evaluation checklist that you will use as a tool to evaluate the success of your kitchen design throughout the design process. Refer to chapter 7 of your text book.
- Work through each stage of the design process to complete the design of your kitchen communicating with your client (The teacher) continually and referring back to the design brief throughout the process.
- Start with an orthogonal sketch plan to scale on graph paper showing 3 views of your kitchen design. You can use the Idraw ipad app to help you create your image.
Hand in all work from this point on 24/03/2013- Then use your scaled plan to create a 3D Model in Google Sketchup.
- Make sure you export 2D graphic jpegs of your progress each lesson and mount these in your development work display folder for assessment.
- You are to create a materials, tools and techniques table outlining what you have used throughout the design process.
- You are also to create a health and safety checklist outlining the safety requirement for your kitchen design.
- Create a table that outlines the advantages and disadvantages of your kitchen design to the individual, society and to the environment. Refer to chapter 3 of your textbook.
- Your final design for kitchen should be presented as a 3D model created using Google Sketchup and should be fully rendered with your chosen textures and colour schemes. You should create a walk through animation of your design showing of the key design features of your kitchen. - Refer to chapter 12 in textbook (Computer-based technologies in designing and producing).
- Create a printed concept presentation of your kitchen design to present to your client. The presentation should include a 2D orthogonal drawing showing 3 views of the design and at least two 3D perspective representations of your kitchen design. This should be neatly mounted for assessment.
- All development work should be included in your visual display folder for assessment.
