Problem statement

Build a place to live for a family of four with an income of $80,000 per year

Build on speculation without specific customer in mind

Applying the design process to a define a place to live is a good test for the design process because

construction illustrates many aspects of design

• What general characteristics must the structure have?• Attractive to customers as determined

by comparison to similar homes

• Who is the customer?• A man, a wife, and two children
