DESIGN TASK:

The Metal Smiths are to make a metal artefact that will help the faculty and staff of Philippine Science High School-Bicol Region Campus according to their specific and certain needs.

Design Brief:

       We interviewed Sir Armin Apostol, a Values Education and Social Science teacher in our school. Our metal work is a revolving organizer that can store office supplies, books (religious texts) and important files (worksheets and answer sheets of students being handled).

Design Requirement:

Make an innovative yet simple metal work that can organize important objects. With a box-type base, there will be a revolving section on its’ main base. It will be containing books and random office supplies. On the top part of the box, the file organizer would be found.

a.    The organizer must have a sufficient space for the client’s needs

b.    It must be able to revolve properly.

c.    The base must be large enough to support the revolving section.

d.    Length and width of the organizer depends on the design

PHYSICAL	INTELLECTUAL	EMOTIONAL	SOCIAL
Do you have medical conditions?	Are you a bookworm? IF yes, what kind of books do you read?	What makes you happy?	What do you usually do during your free time?
I have no medical conditions. I think it is because I had been healthy ever since. I don’t go to gym, I just eat healthy.	Probably, yes. I am very fond of religious texts and learning/teaching materials, but I am not fond of pocketbooks.	That’s very simple. Anything makes me happy. As long as I see people smiling, I become happy too. Simple things make me happy.	If I am in school, I usually surf the internet. When I’m at home, I clean, read books and watch documentaries.
What is your favourite colour?	Are you musically inclined?	What makes you disappointed?	Do you go out with your friends?
My favorite color is blue and white.	Not much. But I do love to sing. I am not one with instruments, but I have a little background on reading notes.	Family problems. Another is when my mother was in ICU for three months. But now, I don’t have any sadness. I don’t take problems too seriously	I consider my grandchildren as my friends, and also my family, specially my sister, but she is in Canada now.
Are you related to any sporty? If yes, what kind do you play? If not, what kinds are you interested in?	What makes you curious the most?	What are the common problems that you face in daily living/What makes you busy?	Do you have any pets? If yes, what kind?
No. But I am interested to learn volleyball.	My sister once invited me to go to Canada. But what if, I won’t be able to live a prosperous life?	Here in PSHS? I think it is the paper works. It is very hard and stressful. Specially when submission of grades are near.	Yes I do. I prefer dogs. I actually have 3 dogs in our house, though I don’t have one in our boarding house.
In terms of material stuff, do you wish anything to be improved?		What is your hobby?	What do you prefer? Being alone or being with other people?
No. I think I am satisfied with my things here		Singing. It is also my favorite pastime and relaxation.	Of course with other people! Although I do not have a wife, I have my family.

TOP FIVE PRIORITIES:

List your top five most important constraints and considerations

CONSTRAINTS                       CONSIDERATIONS

1.      Non-Functionality        1. Innovativeness             

2.      Use of non-metal stuff 2. Use of Hinges

3.      Size                                3. Revolving Parts

4.      Weight                           4. Detachable parts

5.      Firmness                       5. Use of paint

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

These are our five questions that we can use to evaluate our work when we have finished our artefact.

1.      Will it be able to help Mr. Apostol in his everyday life?

2.      Are there going to be any damages with the organizer?

3.      Will the organizer be durable?

4.      Is it going to revolve smoothly?

5.      Is our device going to be firm enough?

I. INVESTIGATION

  

   RESEARCH:

PREFERRED OPTION:     

Choose the better of your designs, post it and explain why it is the best option and how it satisfies the requirements of the design brief.

Our first idea was just a simple file organizer. It will form a diagonal-

type edge. Then we thought of adding another feature which is the

shelf. The books will be placed there. But we also thought of having

another section where his office supplies will be placed. It might

consume lots of space, so we finally came up with the final idea which is

multi- purpose revolving organizer.
