Week 7 - Intent

Intent is defined as what you plan and desire to perform an act, an aim or purpose. This definition could have relation to an architecture. The architect's intent would be their individual designs, their purpose and aims of building.

Intents play an important role in our group project. Design intent is a clear and concise statement that expresses the objectives of the design team relative to a project or a portion a project. No clear direction to design efforts can be made without a clear intent. In relation to our project, intent has played an integral part. We firstly planned to do 2 different style of buildings, which were Market- rate housing and Playa Blanca Wildlife Interpretive Centre. As we've presented last week, we decided to work on Market rate housing later as we had more resource of elevations on that building whereas there was only 1 picture of wildlife interpretive centre.

Intent plays major role in the design of a building as that could be a first plan of its design. It may occur in all industries and try to avoid resulting certain unwanted outcomes.

From the last presentation, there were some issues on:

What is market rate housing? and why it is important?
Why needing this building for?
How it can be played with textured finished map in UT3 environment, etc.

Our group have been discussing about the possible issues and we will be working deeply on our project, getting more ideas from eachother.
