Art Portfolio Two: Group prototype reflection

Today, we did a group prototype reflection. My cohorts shared our ideas and showed prototypes that have been created so far to collect opinions and receive some comments that can help with development.

I did a voice record (to see/hear, follow the link that is attached) while sharing my project idea so I can hear it again, which can help me notice some moments that could be forgotten. I was a little bit nervous because it was my first presentation of this project and I was exiting to hear an opinion about it.

At the start, I presented my brief, explained what it required and what was supposed to be involved. Next, I generally presented my ideas, possible location and floor plan with other details. Furthermore, I described a concept of my first design(the sketch and prototype photos can be seen below, Fig1,2)

Next, I presented my second idea(to see photos of prototypes and sketch, look at the Fig3,4and5) with some comments and clear details because the construction has a difficult concept. Also, I shared the problem that I faced, the waterfall design is hard to implement, and I shared a possible way of solving it. Next, my cohorts shared their opinion about my idea and suggested how to improve it. Furthermore, they asked some pointed questions that helped me see weak sides in the design as a lack of privacy in changing rooms because of glass construction.

At the end, my colleagues shared which design they prefer. Unanimously, the first design they like more because of its interesting, unusual shape.
