Step 1: Identify the Problem
Establish the needs and requirements that need to be met
What needs to be fixed? What needs to be solved?
What needs to be fixed? What needs to be solved?
Step 2: Generate Ideas
Brainstorming: sharing ideas in a group setting
Mental Inventory: your own ideas
Research: learning about past solutions to similar problems
Lateral Thinking: thinking where no idea is too unusual
Thumbnail Sketches: small, quick drawings to be used as reference
Sketch Models: same as thumbnail sketches, but in three-dimensions
Written Notations: writing all of your ideas out on paper, similar to 'thinking out loud'
Step 3: Refine and Analyze
2. Define Three-dimensional form and find a new example using the research links.
This is the first step where criticism occurs
Drawings
Presentation Drawing: more visually engaging, drawing meant to represent the idea to the client or audience
Working Drawing: used for reference in the building process
Models and Mock-Ups
3D representation of solution in a smaller scale
Three-dimensional form: has an actual plane and volume. This Challenges designer’s 2D imaginations because of physical laws pertaining to material and structure.

Space: defines form, and in return form defines space. Without space, form would not be able to be altered because space “activates” form.
4. Define Positive and negative space in3-D form, find a new example using the research links.  |

Point of View- Constraints set by the observer
Frame of Reference- a second perceptual constraint; the format of position, direction and scale that are realized
