AS91610 - CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Develop a conceptual design considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN ASSESSMENT MARKING SCHEDULE - link.
NOTE: this assessment page relates to developing a conceptual design for an architecture project.
For Learners who want to develop their own 'non-architecture' project - you still need to meet the requirements for "fitness for purpose" & document your project to meet the assessment criteria, based on these architecture examples

CONTEXT - PROJECT BRIEF
For this assessment you are going to develop a Animal Pavilion conceptual design architecture project.
Choose an animal & site location and document your design process that considers 'fitness for purpose' for the animal of your choice. Consider climate change, design aesthetics & culture in the 'broadest sense'.
Choose an animal & site location and document your design process that considers 'fitness for purpose' for the animal of your choice. Consider climate change, design aesthetics & culture in the 'broadest sense'.
ACHIEVED
Develop a conceptual design considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense involves:
A1-A4. establishing conceptual designs through generating and evaluating design ideas informed by research, including the analysis of existing outcomes and the context considerations
A1-a. establishing conceptual designs: All the drawings, 3D physical model, 3D Sketchup or Minecraft model & animation video, Photoshop images of your architecture design in its site location that you create during your Animal Pavilion project.
The most important part of the project is your 'iterative design development'. Do lots of drawings to evolve your design ideas. Do quick prototype 3D models & Photoshop images to show various design ideas in the site location.
A1-b. evaluating design ideas: How does your pavilion design & key architectural features relate to other architecture designs from other era's in history? Look at the examples on the architectureschool.co.nz/timeline website.
Also, How does your design relate to the needs of your selected animal?
Consider climate change, design aesthetics & culture of your Animal Pavilion design in the 'broadest sense'.
A1-c. analysis of existing outcomes: What do other man made architectural or animal made natural designs look like for the animal you have chosen? How does your design compare to theirs?
A1-d. context considerations: The needs of the animal in the site location you are designing for.

A1-d. context considerations: The needs of the animal in the site location you are designing for.
2. using evidence from research and functional modelling, including feedback from stakeholders, to evaluate conceptual designs
2a. evidence from research: everything you have considered in point 1 above.
2b. functional modelling: As defined by NZQA: 'Functional modelling should be undertaken to explore, test and evaluate the technical feasibility and social acceptability of developing ideas for the conceptual design, including fitness for purpose of the final conceptual design. The findings from functional modelling and stakeholder feedback are key in determining the fitness for purpose of selected design ideas'.
2c. feedback from stakeholders: As defined by NZQA: 'It is expected that students would undertake feedback from more than one stakeholder. Stakeholder feedback should be undertaken throughout the development process. It should be relevant and of sufficient depth so that it allows the student to inform and confirm the selection of design ideas for the development and evaluation of the outcome. Students should be supported to undertake quality feedback'.

3. communicating a final conceptual design for an outcome
3a. communicating: All the drawings, 3D physical model, 3D Sketchup or Minecraft model & animation video, Photoshop images of your architecture design in its site location that you create during your Animal Pavilion project.
3b. final conceptual design: A final Photoshop image of your conceptual design. The last image of a series of 'iterative' design images done while developing your Animal Pavilion project.
3b. final conceptual design: A final Photoshop image of your conceptual design. The last image of a series of 'iterative' design images done while developing your Animal Pavilion project.
4. explaining the potential of the proposed outcome to meet the brief
4a. explain the potential: How & why will your animal benefit from your pavilion design?
4b. proposed outcome: All the drawings, 3D physical model, 3D Sketchup or Minecraft model & animation video, Photoshop images of your architecture design in its site location that you create during your Animal Pavilion project.
4c. brief: Describe your project in two sentences. For example, this is the 'brief' description of the SnakeTower example project "A proposed SnakeTower animal pavilion example project designed for a waterhole site in the Zakouma National Park, Chad, Africa.The animal pavilion is for scientists using AI technology to study the effects of Climate Change on the animals in their natural environment & for tourists to experience all the wild animals of the park".
