THE BRIEF, EXPANDED
Dinnerware for an Architect
You have been engaged to design, develop, and prepare for production a dinnerware collection
for your favourite architect, practice, or designer. The collection must contain plates, bowls,
mugs, and a flatware set of forks, knives, and spoons.
This design must be developed, using the Rhino/Grasshopper software combination, as a
parametric/generative script. This script should be capable of generating all the individual
elements of the dinnerware set as 3-dimensional models. These models must be capable of 3Dprinting for further prototyping.

PART A: DOCUMENTATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Document your object in a series of relevant two-dimensional drawings that are capable of
prototyping your design. Consider every aspect of functionality in the drawings. Imagine you will
be giving the drawings to someone to manufacture your artefact for the first time.
Explain
1. Plans, Elevations, Sections (to a scale that is relevant to the size of your artefact) delivered as a
single PDF in A3 format.
2. Title bar with North point, Project name, Scale, Date.S2, 2016
PART B: REPRESENTATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Present your project using three-dimensional renders from 3D Studio MAX and physical 3Dprinted prototypes.
1. 3D renders x 2 of your artefact from multiple points of view fully explain the functionality
and aesthetic decisions of your artefact.
2. 3D printed physical prototype of dinnerware collection.
3. Written description (500 words max.)
i. The innovation that you have achieved.
ii. The aesthetic decisions you have made.
iii. The difference your design will make to the world.S2, 2016
