Design Thinking

After some excellent presentations from my fellow students, I decided to transfer some of the note I jotted down.
Empathize:
  • Empathy is used to get to know the customer and what he/she wants
Define:
  • As everyone knows, it is finding out and stating the problem that needs to be solved.
Ideate:
  • Ideate is summed up by the creation and brainstorming of ideas.
Prototype:
  • The actual physical representation of your idea, including the constraints.
Test:
  • Fail early, fail often! Putting the prototype into action and refining it to solve the defined problem.

Architecture Project

We are working on an architecture project. I am partners with Sean Lee and our client is Mr. Lemei. He asked us to create a storage room for his physics equipment. I have made qa sketch in CAD, it is not very good but it is just the beggining layout.
I made the model in Minecraft. 1 foot is equal to 1 block, except vertically, which i changed to 3 feet per block
