design brief

course outline

The program brief was to develop a new range of products in the field of architecture and interior design. Providing exposure to the craftspeople was also an important component of the brief. A time schedule to deliver the same was also created during this stage.

With two families and two designers having been identified to carry out the Craft Design Innovation, two design briefs were prepared.

Design brief - 1 The craft design prototype would be an interior architectural system. The system would use a dry construction method for execution.

Design brief- 2 The craft design process would be an architectural system. The system would use a wet construction method for execution.

Both the designers were expected to design keeping in mind the following parameters:

1.Using existing products as design inspiration, 2.Employing traditional techniques for production, 3.Employing a modular system, 4.Taking existing and local market scenarios into consideration.
