DESIGN PROCESS -The end

For the last of class of Design Process, we presented our final solution to the class. 

Our problem: Limited social spaces in residential areas

Our solution: The social web

What it is: The social web is a a social space designed in between residential buildings. It doesn't require land to be constructed. This is an important factor as Singapore is a very small country and is limited in land. Another feature is that it is only 1 story high, so it can be incorporated at multiple levels of a building. Say a building is 15 stories high, these can be incorporated every 5 floors for example. This makes it a lot more convenient for the residents to access. 

DESIGN PROCESS - Finishing up

There are just a few weeks left of the academic year, which means our project has almost come to an end. Wrapping things up, our group task as of now was to come up with a strong title for our proposal and start working on our group sketch book. 

To finalise a title, we jotted down our ideas in a mind map. We felt that our title had to represent the lack of social spaces and the illnesses and problems that its absence causes. Finally, we came up with "A Little Dosage of Social Interaction". This idea branched off of the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

(Sketches of solutions which will be incorporated into the proposal, presentation board and power point.)
