'Design a Space' Survey
Work Samples for this Activity
In aligning each work sample for this activity to a particular grade, a professional judgement has been made that a student whose performance, on balance, matches the description for that grade, would typically produce work at that standard.
Description of activity
Students design a client survey and analyse the survey results to assess the client needs of the space being designed.
Context
Students have designed, produced and evaluated a 3D model which represents a space for living or recreational purposes in response to the needs of a designated client. Students have developed sketches and plans and have experimented with techniques to make a scale model. Students have investigated the way in which environments have an effect on the lives of people using them and how small changes can influence the way people feel about the environment.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
5.1.1 analyses and applies a range of design concepts and processes
5.3.2 evaluates designed solutions that consider preferred futures, the principles of appropriate technology and ethical and responsible design
5.4.1 develops and evaluates innovative, enterprising and creative design ideas and solutions
5.5.1 uses appropriate techniques when communicating design ideas and solutions to a range of audiences
Criteria for assessing learning
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- design a survey to identify the needs of the end users in their settings
- apply appropriate communication techniques when developing and presenting the survey
- establish and document the survey requirements in terms of design considerations for the design project
- interpret survey data to analyse results.
