A serious attempt at some lateral thinking, a workshop to get us thinking about the approach we want to take. To help us refine our concept and rationale and the possibilities and approaches our project could take.
I found the session really helpful, a couple of hours of brainstorming has got my creativity going. Thinking about a lot more approaches and ways I could take this brief.
We had to answer several questions, each to have five answers in accordance to our ' what is good '
The finalised answers, one answer for each question.
To take away from this session:
To come back tomorrow with reviewed answers and an example of a brand, identity or logo for each of the answers given.
Personal development -
I intend on brainstorming the answers, to get new idea's and design decisions. To understand and note down why I think my answers were a good interpretation of 'What is good'
For tomorrow - 9:30 - On walls - A reviews / final version of the answers from this session.
.....
Reviewing my answers and asking 'Why':
'What makes it good? - It's environmentally friendlier than regular housing"
Why - I have researched and found facts and figures relating to the little environmental impact flat pack wooden structures have in comparison to regular brick or concrete housing.
"What is it better than and why? - Large sheds, it's a lot more comfortable"
A lot of people buy large shed / large wooden structures as another room or guest house within their garden. The structures aren't as big, nor as comfortable and don't have good heating. Thus a flat pack house, once built is a better option.
"Who would find it good? - First time buyers"
Its the cheaper option, than buying a regular house, which you quite possibly will need a mortgage for.
" If my good was a profession what would it be? - An architect"
Due to the structures complexity and beautiful and outstanding a features, a real thought process has gone into the designing of it, especially as it comes flat pack. Which I feel an architect would be the main consultant for such a building.
"Who wouldn't find it good? - Those wanting to live in the city"
For a flat pack property, you need land / space. A bustling over populated city doesn't offer this.
"If my good was a celebrity who would it be? - The presenter from grand design"
Such product as 'Weehouses' has appeared in the program, and the program itself specialises in following the building of some amazing, different structures. Perfect for a flat pack house.
"If my good was a place, where would it be? - Switzerland"
The capital of log cabins, I felt it appropriate and befitting to the environment.
"If my good was an event, what would it be? - An open house event "
Its a house after all, such events take place to attract potential buyers.
"If my good was a product what would it be? - A flat pack house"
Speaks for itself really...

REVIEWED ANSWERS
MY answer for : "If my good was a product what would it be? - A flat pack house" I thought was a bit too obvious. So I thinking changing it to 'wood' would be a better option. Something I can research into further
"Who wouldn't find it good? - Those wanting to live in the city" - I think this is wrong, those wanting to live in the city may want to buy a plot of land, or use their garden, as a place to build such a thing I feel I need to be more specific with my answer. Possibly changing it to 'Those who lack the money, time and effort to design and build a property of their own.'
