1. PROJECT BRIEF Problem 25. PLANE indicates length and width, shape,
surface, orientation and position in 2D
2. PROJECT Goals
OBJECTIVES 26. VOLUME has length, width, and depth, it
indicates form, shape, surface,
3. DESIGN An approach
orientation, and position

edge to edge contact
9. PREPARATION Collection
face to face contact
analysis of data
interlocking volumes
Establish goals and criteria
30. CENTRALIZED a number of secondary forms
10. SYNTHESIS SWOT analysis
