DESIGN PURPOSES & FUNCTIONS:

Control, Needs & Cost, Image/looks,

Speed & Size, Durability & Efficiency

( to make or minimize Waste).

Things made for one or multiple purposes, multi-tasking? How something is designed has multiple purposes input/needs, production & results.

Questions of whole design & production process:

> Any recycling, waste or pollution effects from whole creation process?

> How is it better or more efficient, simpler, smaller or bigger than similar

things?

> Are the raw materials local or imported? At what energy costs?

> What tools does it require to make, use, recycle or store it?

> How natural & flexible is it made from & used for multi-purposes?

> How much energy/power & time to build, make, create or use it?

> Its shape is: square, flat, boxy, geodesic* or curved, circles, archy,

round, or spiraling?

*Geodesic = triangles, polygons, hexagons, pyramids, polyhedrons, angular, etc

> Is it handmade, homemade, have moving parts, wheels, electrical or imported parts?

> Preparation for production: what learning/training must producers & users have?

> What production places & tools are required to build, make, complete & use it?

> Storage – what materials must be stored before during & after production & use?

> Toxins – what if any toxic thngs needed produce or use it any levels?

> How does it feel to make & use it at all stages: cost, results, efficiency & vibrations?
