Prototyping

Today in class we started creating our first prototypes. Although these were rough prototypes of the final design we successfully created a few different items. The first prototype that we created was one of the overall design of the room. Although this prototype was not to scale or reflects the final floor plan it allowed us to brainstorm and actually see some of our ideas in physical form.

Here is our prototype of the room.

This prototype shows a few attributes that we would like to implement in our design including large windows, the roof pillars, the projector screen, a mock table, and bean bag chairs.

We also created a prototype of the planters box floor tiles we where thinking of having throughout the classroom.

This specific prototype shows how Freshwise might water or replace a plant in the box.

As we created the prototypes we also revised our idea board. Getting rid of ideas that we had identified as not relevant to the overall goal of the project. We also reorganized the board to incorporate our sketches and will be presenting it to the class tomorrow.
