Project #4 - Google Sketchup Building Design (30%)
Now that you are more familiar with design companies, designers and their roles, you are going to use Google Sketchup to create a building for a design corporation (note: not for a single designer, but for a whole corporation). You will need to follow these steps:
1. Select what kind of design corporation you are going to create. A landscape corporation will look a lot different from a fashion design corporation.
2. Create a rough sketch on paper of your floor plan and label each room before creating it in Google Sketchup.
3. Use Google Sketchup to create your building - using the 80/20 rule. At least 80% of your design should be developed by you, and up to 20% of your design can be imported.
4. Once you have created your final design, write a short paper where you list all the rooms you’ve included and what the purpose of each room is. It does not need to be long but should communicate what you envisioned each room being used for.
You will be given 4 class periods to work on this project! Completed projects are due Thursday, March 28, 2013!
Your work will be assessed on the following rubric:
