Embodiment Design and Prototyping
- 1. Embodiment Design Prototyping 03.007
- 2. Aims Roles of design models and prototypes today Prototyping strategies Experimental / testing plans for the chosen exhibit design Identify appropriate procedures, variables, performance measures, ranges of interest, and trials
- 3. Concepts Preliminary engineering drawings and Bill of materials (BOM) Beta prototype (scaled model + functional model) Cost estimate

- 43. Key Q’s Functionality being tested? Scales, assemblies and materials? Structural behaviour and costs? Physical or virtual prototype? Decisions to build model/prototype: materials, processes, time, modifications… Single plan or replan? Parallel or serial prototypes? Simultaneous or iterative?
- 44. Important Good investment: plan resources & time Make your goals and questions explicit Learn from your models and prototypes: test, measure, modify them Document, record and analyse evidence “Fail Early, Fail Fast and Fail Often” http://www.lunar.com/failure-is-always-an-option/ http://www.fastcodesign.com/1663968/wanna-create-a-great-product-fail-early-fail-fast-fail-often
