 Basic Architectural Project
Description Of Problem

The neighbor’s children were playing cricket when a ball hit a window and broke it.
The window is facing in the direction of the wind, so rainwater gets into the house
through the hole in the window and causes damage to pricey furniture and
ornaments.

Possible Solutions

Solution 1:

Remove the entire window and replace it entirely with another one.

This solution would require the homeowners to obtain a new window, chisel out the
existing window from the concrete, cement to install the new window and workers
have to be hired for the job.

Solution 2:

Remove the single broken window pane and replace it.

This solution would require the home owners to obtain the correct type of glass, a
glass cutter to cut the right size of glass, silicon glue and workers would not need to be
hired as it very simple for one person to complete this operation.

Solution 2

Materials Needed:

1. Pliers
2. Silicone Caulk
3. Glass Cutter
4. 3mm non-tinted glass
5. Safety Gloves

 Design Analysis of a Chair

Economics
The cost of manufacturing a solid pine chair can vary depending on the type of
wood used, the size of the chair, and the manufacturer. According to an article
about trading chairs a solid oak wooden chair can cost up to $180 US dollars or
$39,240 GY dollars.

Environment
The production process for timber products, from log extraction to final
products involves several stages, which can affect the surrounding
environments in the form of land, air and water pollution. According to an
article published in Environmental Systems Research, the impacts of timber
products from sawmilling to disposal can affect the environment.

Ergonomics
Most dining chairs averages around “18” to “20” inches in height and 15-1/2”
in back and 18” in front, and averages 16” and 18” in seat depth.

Suitability of Material
Oak wood was chosen for the chair because it is one of the most resistant and
durable wood and has a very natural look with a very light colour with a
prominent grain.

Innovation
Our innovation for this chair was the light look of the wooden oak as it would
be suitable for a dining chair.
Decoration
Our chair has a natural look with a unique intricate grain pattern which adds
depth and visual interest to the chair.

Anthropometrics
The measurement and type of wood used would allow the chair to hold up to
250lb.

Selection of Material
Material was chosen by endurance, thickness and appearance.

Functionality
The function of the wooden oak chair is to provide an surface to sit on while
eating.
