My grade 11 Interior Design class has just completed a project where they needed to redesign/decorate their own bedrooms.
- It started with a site measure of their own rooms. For many of them
it was the first time they had used a tape measure or measure using
imperial units.
- Next they created preliminary sketches of the floor plans.
- Meanwhile
they were selecting new furniture. They were restricted to furniture
from IKEA. This allowed them to shop on-line and keep their budgets
down.
- Then they created scale floor plans with pencil and paper and started playing around with furniture placement.
- Once the furniture placement was decided they inked the plans.
- Colour images of the furniture and the inked plans were then added to the design boards.
- A
complete cost estimate was also done. Including new flooring material
costs and paint costs. So the students needed to do area calculations
for the flooring, and walls for paint.
- Finally these cost estimate spreadsheets where printed and attached to the back of the board.
