The Task
In this Precedent Research activity, we will investigate desk and furniture designs through five key design elements: Ease of Construction, Durability, Affordability, Function and User Needs, and Safety and Comfort. Each group will focus on one of these elements, researching examples and gathering observations, ideas, and strategies. Students will share their findings on a sticky note board, establishing a collective reference bank to serve as a foundation for later brainstorming.
Deliverables
Under the "Response" tab within this activity, submit your group's findings in the form of a short slideshow. Also, be prepared to contribute key findings, examples, and design ideas to the shared sticky note board during the activity.
