Addressing Questions on Design Process
How I relate design thinking, use and implement it in the future will be based on my design experiences and processes. Design processes is trial and error which leads to beneficial designs and answers. Including everyone in the design process is a key factor contributing to successful design. Thus, a designer relates to the occupants’ individual needs. This along with prototyping helps to eliminate any final problems.

COMMUNITY Village: Design Development-Concept statement
CONCEPT STATEMENT
Wind is invisible yet powerful enough to shape stone. Like the winds moving across the earth pulling from different areas and flowing together, the Unity Village pulls together diverse occupants in a fluid way that will refresh and uplift its tenants by utilizing open and airy design. The design layout of Unity Village intertwines the lives of its diverse tenants in positive ways that are not always physically visible, yet its community enhancing effects are obvious.
