Every lab room has 7 teams. I have a separate post for each team with quotes from the status reports. I would like the students to speak for themselves so I have picked out a selection of comments to show the variety in design approaches.
interior design:
“ The interior design team's goals this week are versatility, incorporating space saving, and working on teamwork.”
“The Interior Design group has started doing research on RVs and boats to gain ideas about efficient living in small spaces and multi-functional furniture. They are also considering using the concept of Feng Shui for incorporating arch walls, colors and their impact on the moods of people living there.”
“Our design aims to meet the needs of a variety of people in a variety of different building configurations.”
“There will be a focus of flow in the apartment; seamlessly transitioning from room to room.”
“The interior design team has begun discussing ideas of how to maximize the use of each unit’s limited area. These ideas include multifunction rooms and rooms that are easily convertible to meet a variety of needs. Some ideas of how to achieve this have been to create more universal designs (that can suit the needs of all our clients) and through the use of movable partitions within each unit.”
“This week we divided the research and designing among the team members based on the different clients that we are designing for. For example, one team member researched the specific needs of single men, one team member researched the specific needs of youths, and one team member researched the specific needs of students. A different potential interior was then designed for each client based on their specific needs.”
