C. It is good for communication with clients.
D. It is easy to use with CAD.

8. Graphical models are useful for engineers, manufacturers, designers and clients, and
 vary depending on the context. Which of the following graphical models is most
appropriate in the context of an architectural design to present to a client?

A. Assembly drawing
B. Perspective drawing
C. Isometric drawing
D. Orthographic projection

9. The figure 1 here shows some candle lanterns made by hand using recycled
materials from cans and glass. The design is based on the traditional arches and
domes of classical Moorish architecture found in North Africa. Each lantern is
unique in its decorative design depending on the surface design of the metal cans it
is recycled from.

Describe how the green design strategy “design for materials” has been used for the
lanterns. [2]

Award [2 max] for a suitable description whıch relates to the design process:

the availability of the waste metal from another process;

has been the impetus/inspiration for the design of the lantern
A.
10. The figure 2 here shows a hammock manufactured by the company Sedi. It has a
hardwood frame and a bed made from woven cotton (canvas). The hammock is self-
assembly and the canvas bed is easily detachable from the frame.

Describe how the technique of weaving impacts upon the life cycle analysis of the
hammock bed. [2]

Award [2] for: technique pf weaving mans the fibres interlock which
creates tough/strong material; resists cracks (tears) and so extends the product life

11. Explain why a designer would produce both an orthographic drawing and an
isometric drawing of a product. [3]

Award [1] for each of three distinct points in an explanation

of why a designer would produce both an orthographic
drawing and an isometric drawing.
they would be used at different stages of the design cycle and for
 different purposes;
the isometric drawing shows the shape and form of the design
in 3–D; the orthographic drawing shows the detail of the design in 2–D
including measurements and would be used as production drawings.

12. Designed for, and largely operated in London, the original Routemaster buses were
built between 1956 and 1968. Despite safety issues with passengers falling from the
rear platform, low levels of comfort and no wheelchair access, the Routemaster
outlasted newer buses intended to replace it. The Routemaster remained in use until
2005. Transport for London were seen as laggards in adopting the new Routemaster
bus.

The new Routemaster, see Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5, is a hybrid diesel-electric
double-decker bus operating in London. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, it is
manufactured by Wrightbus, and is notable for featuring a “hop-on hop-off ” rear open
platform similar to the design of the AEC Routemaster, but updated to meet
requirements for modern buses to be fully accessible. Following an initial order of 272
buses, the first bus entered service on 27 February 2012.

The driver’s cockpit is similar to other modern buses with comfortable seating, easy
access for the driver and does not obstruct passenger entry.

Explain the advantages of using virtual prototyping and full scale physical modelling to get
feedback during the design development of the new Routemaster bus. [6]

Award [1] for each of three distinct points in an explanation of the advantages of using
virtual prototyping and full scale physical modelling to get feedback during the design
development of the Routemaster bus. Mark as [3] + [3]. Answer in brackets is not required
to award the mark

Virtual prototyping: Are CAD-based/photorealistic/interactive models that use surface and

solid modelling ✓ An advantage of virtual prototyping is that the designers can
communicate with users without building a physical model/prototype ✓ Which can be
expensive/difficult/time consuming ✓
Full scale physical modelling: Are tangible versions of an object that can be physically
interacted with ✓ An advantage of full scale physical modelling is that users can evaluate
the interior/seats/cockpit design of the bus (at actual size) ✓ Which enables designers to
test the design with a range of users ✓

13. Zuperzozial is a Dutch company that manufactures a range of kitchenware (plates,

cups, serving utensils, and vessels) from biodegradable bamboo and corn, see Figure 6.

The environmentally conscious kitchenware is stylish and

durable. It also has a similar weight, feel, performance and
dimensions to existing ceramic products. Zuperzozial are
distributing their product through specialist kitchen stores,
where they are displayed alongside conventional
kitchenware. Zuperzozial needs to sell the kitchenware at a
slightly higher cost than conventional kitchenware to recover
the cost of the new technology used to manufacture using
bamboo and corn.

Explain one advantage of using Finite element analysis (FEA) and one advantage of using
physical models for testing the Zuperzozial kitchenware. [4]

Award [1] for each of two distinct points in an explanation of the advantages of using FEA
and physical models for testing the Zuperzozial kitchenware. Mark as [2] + [2]. Answer in
brackets is not required to award the mark.

Finite Element Analysis: FEA allows the calculation and simulation of unknown factors in
products using CAD systems ✓ Which can be used to test the mechanical/physical
properties (accept compressive strength/tensile
strength/toughness/hardness/density/weight/mass) ✓ And allows for quick/easy/cost
effective modifications to the design (based on the results of testing) ✓ Physical models:
Physical models allow the creation of a tangible version of an object that can be physically
interacted with ✓ To help evaluate size/proportions/texture of the design ✓ Which would
provide more accurate/realistic feedback ✓
