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 conceptual architecture project at AC.
Choose a site at AC and document your design process that considers 'fitness for purpose' for those who will use the building. Consider design aesthetics & user experience 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 project.
Do lots of drawings to evolve your design ideas.
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.
How does your design relate to the needs of the students & others who will use your building?
Consider design aesthetics of your project in the 'broadest sense'.
A1-c. analysis of existing outcomes: What do other similar architectural projects look like that have the same needs as yours? How does your design compare to theirs?
A1-d. context considerations: What are the needs of the people you should consider when designing your architecture?
Do lots of drawings to evolve your design ideas.

A1-c. analysis of existing outcomes: What do other similar architectural projects look like that have the same needs as yours? How does your design compare to theirs?
A1-d. context considerations: What are the needs of the people you should consider when designing your architecture?
2. using evidence from research and functional modelling, including feedback from stakeholders, to evaluate conceptual designs
2a. evidence from research: Consider everything you have created 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'. How have you used 'functional modeling' to design your project?
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'.
Mr Williams is your stakeholder, get feedback from him throughout your project, you should also get feedback from other AC students as they could be the ones to use your project.

3. communicating a final conceptual design for an outcome
3a. communicating: Add images of the drawings, 3D physical model, 3D Sketchup or Minecraft model & animation video etc that you create during your project & add descriptive notes that communicate your design ideas.
3b. final conceptual design: A final Photoshop image of your conceptual design in its location.
3b. final conceptual design: A final Photoshop image of your conceptual design in its location.
4. explaining the potential of the proposed outcome to meet the brief
4a. explain the potential: How & why will AC will benefit from your architecture design?
4b. proposed outcome: Write a proposal of your architecture project describing the key design features & benefits of your project & how it meets the brief of the randomly selected design requirements.
4b. proposed outcome: Write a proposal of your architecture project describing the key design features & benefits of your project & how it meets the brief of the randomly selected design requirements.
MERIT
Develop a refined conceptual design considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense involves:
B. ongoing exploration and evaluation of design ideas to determine their suitability for inclusion in conceptual designs
B5-a. ongoing exploration and evaluation: Do lots of design idea drawings, how can you evolve your design to make your architecture better.
B5-b. design ideas: What are the inspirations that help you develop your design ideas?
B5-c.suitability of inclusion: How does your architecture design suit the environment of the site location?
B5-d. conceptual designs: Justify your conceptual designs.

EXCELLENCE
Develop a refined conceptual design considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense involves:
C. synthesising evidence from ongoing research and functional modelling, including feedback from stakeholders, to substantiate the potential of the proposed outcome to meet the brief
C7-a. summarise your project, get independ stakeholder feedback on your final proposed concept design
