CHALLENGE AND SELECTION

I worked in a furniture company, designing perfect offices to different companies and  independent workers; I also visited clients and listened their ideas about the design and  spaces they dreamed for their offices. My challenge was to visualize and draw down the  ideas of my clients and bring them to reality, so we would know if they will or wouldn’t  work. The tool that I always have used in my work, is visualization: it helps me to make  ideas tangible and concrete depending of situation using the best resource (a reference  photo, a story, draws, maps, renders…etc.)

I choose this tool for my challenge, because trough this options (drawing, making maps,  renders), was the best way to capture my clients ideas and put them in real scenarios to start  their projects.

APPLICATION

The first thing I did was draw the plane of the place, where the office would be. I asked the  client how he imagined the distribution and how he wanted the organization of the  elements, next I organized these elements and its distribution in the plane. Then, I draw the  top view of the office in AutoCAD, with real measures, concreting the idea for the client.  After this phase, if the client liked the plane, the next step was doing the modelling and  rendering of the office, to have dimensions, spaces and real distribution: the client idea was  now tangible.

INSIGHT & APPROACH

What I learned in this process was the importance to visualize ideas and projects. It is not  easy for everyone to visualize their ideas in real scenarios, and this tool is the key for  projects and business that are in construction.

I will definitely use the tool of visualization in all my projects. I would like to focus more  on storytelling and brainstorm. I know that with this tools I can create unique projects,  having the human factor as my staring point.
