Blog 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2160 Reflection of the mid-term presentation<\/p>\n

After the mid-term presentation, we found that most of the groups choose use an App as a digital tool to solve the problems. App is more popular among the young people, so our group thinking about create an extra App which can be linked to our website. In this App, we try to provide an implementation of design process and create a more direct contact between the customers and the self-built housing Co-op.<\/p>\n

\u2161 Sketches \/ concept ideas<\/p>\n

APP Design:<\/p>\n

To involve self-build organizations with the design concepts. This includes a multi login page, with 3 types of login. These include people already registered, sign in with Facebook and also a register.
\n**\"1011049481\" **\"img_9765\"<\/p>\n

Include images of geographically located areas with ease of understanding for multi-generational use. We get this idea from the seminar, and try to add this into our APP. This section will link to the Google Map and help people to know the distance between their houses and the nearby services.<\/p>\n

As well as this, having individual pages for other aesthetic principles including galleries of self builds and furniture buffers.<\/p>\n

The program section will involve pictures of local self builds, which basic descriptions and more information too.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the design page, we decided to take inspiration from a catalogue portfolio. The dimensions, materials and colors also, so people really can feel like they are making a different when it comes to design principles.<\/p>\n

In the galleries section, there will be pages or present self-build homes, and potential blueprints for an individual to use also. There will also be a number of bedrooms\u2019 slider, this is so the individual will be able to see designs that fit their criteria a lot better. \u2013 As well as this, we have thought about the audition of an advance settings page so again, people can very detailed, specific recommendations giving them more control over the process.\"app-design\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to feedback, we feel this is going to be one of the most important sectors of the whole process. Recommendations from people who have used the site and have had a gain in their knowledge and participation, are the key for this service to keep going. Perhaps a rating system could help to see if there are any connections with self builds and see if any certain principle is more popular.<\/p>\n

Include a real time chart of people interaction and their views also. This would enable the architects and the people who are involved with the self-build to be more active in what they need to do. This would be a great way to link the online website and the application as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The potential weakness & limitations:<\/p>\n

We feel that a limitation for our idea is simply getting the publicity for people to use our app\/site in the first place. Perhaps if self-build organizations in the area where prompted to actually promote it then there wouldn\u2019t be an issue.<\/p>\n

Another limitation is the actual size of the application. With such an expansive gallery and many features that we would like to offer, we don\u2019t want this to take up significant space on our client devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
