Design Process, (Thoughts?)

Design Process

Ace Team 8  
Jonathan Tejeda


We came to our decision on the design of our library through a simple Design Process. We first began our design process by brainstorming. We listed key ideas that we all agreed upon and key points that we wanted to expand upon, such as whether we wanted our library to be made out of glass or the interior to be visible from the outside. Once we came to certain ideas and concepts we began narrowing things down and considering pros and cons of that idea for example making the building glass came with its pros and cons itself. The pros were, the interior would be visible from th outside drawing people inside the library, but the cons being vandalism. After we brainstormed and came to a mutual agreement as to what we wanted the library to be we began to charette, otherwise known as quick sketches used to come up with a design. Once we used the charette technique, we began narrowing our ideas down and incorporating the best ideas from the charette into our final design.Our final design was the result of the best ideas we came up with all bundled up into one floorplan
