Iterative Furniture Design Unit

In this outstanding, creative scheme of work, students are tasked with designing and making a storage unit reflecting the style of a key 20th century design movement. With practical, written and theory work closely related to the new 1-9 GCSE Design Technology Specification. The scheme is a full term (12 or 6 week) project.

It covers the entire iterative (non-linear) design process as well as relatable theory.

Students learn in this project:
♦ An understanding of the full iterative design process.
♦ How to think like both an entrepreneur and a designer.
♦ Technical drawing skills such as perspective and isometric.
♦ CAD/CAM Design.
♦ Rapid prototyping.
♦ Woodworking skills.

Included lessons are:
♦ Introduction to Design Movements (work of others theory)
♦ Creating a mood/style board
♦ Product Analysis (iterative design theory), (ACCESS FM)
♦ Writing a brief
♦ Writing a specification for a particular client
♦ Ideation (SCAMPER)
♦ Design Development
♦ Initial Sketching
♦ Advanced Sketching techniques (2-point, free-hand isometric)
♦ Iterative Design (design, prototype, evaluate)
♦ Soft modelling
♦ Wood Theory
♦ Final making
♦ Product Evaluation (CAFEQUE)

This unit/project is designed for a term (12-14 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly.
