Design By Making
Design Brief
Learning Intentions
Through an exploration of quick paper models, students respond to a surprise construction task. The task
requires that students;
● Understand key Environmental Design features when making models & mock-ups
● Create a 3D prototype in response to visual stimulus
● Use construction materials appropriately and with care & consideration
● Work independently and creatively while problem-solving.
Requirements
Students must show creative thinking and problem solving to re-create or adapt an existing architectural
model. During the Design Process students must show;
● Initial sketches of their designs to help clarify the 3D components of their design.
●
●
●
●
●
Developmental sketches, showing refinements of initial ideas in terms of scale, dimensions, and
extra features, and potentially construction considerations.
Development & Refinement sketches are annotated using sophisticated and articulate VCD
terminology and language, with a focus on Elements & Principles.
The use of materials & model making techniques show a high level of skill as a result of practise
and planning.
Scale and proportion are carefully considered.
Class time is used effectively and consistently and help is given to peers to ensure whole-class
success and learning.
