Week 11 - Individual Role Jake

My responibilities consisted of the original brief development, brief implementation and the interior modelling. The role of brief development was one familiar to be as for the last few design assignments we have been charged with creating our own brief unique to our site and project. Creating a new brief is more challenging in many ways than simply adhering to a provided brief, having to consider all spaces to be included as well as the vision for the project. It is also vital to ensure that the brief is implemented effectively and that each group member is working towards a common goal.  This was an interesting collaboration task, having to work with each discipline to ensure they were on track with the brief and work with them to achieve our brief. The role of interior designer is one relatively foreign to me however. I have no done an exclusive interior fitout, only completing simple interior designs for previous architectural projects.  The interior modelling requires a different skill set, designing interior spaces which flow well and adhere to the brief while also tying in the with the other team members models.

The role of design brief was an interesting one as it provided me an important role in the collaboration process, working with other team members to firstly develop the brief and secondly ensure that the brief was implemented effectively.

The interior fit out was a steep learning curve for me, creating furniture plans and interior plans that fitted in with the architectural, structural, landscape and lighting models with no previous experience. I experienced a number of clashes with the architectural, structural and lighting models. Despite this it was a beneficial experience, providing insight into the interior design process and the unexpected collaboration required. Ultimately it goes to show that all systems within a building are connected and that for a building to work efficiently there must be effective collaboration between each discipline.
