Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 In my job I work with different lines of business across a company that require different   corporate real estate needs .   The two most common requests we receive that requires a   lot of visualization is the reconfiguration of existing space or a complete renovation of   office space . For these types of requests you can discuss requirements for the space   but people need to visualize what the space will look like once it ’s done . A drawing is   created of the floor plan with the new design so that the staff can envision the final   product .   Imagine renovating your kitchen and telling the designer what you wanted but   they never came back to you with a drawing of the new kitchen and samples of the new   finishes and just start the project .   It is the same with renovating an office space , the   business needs to see a plan , visualize the final product before they agree to move   forward . 

 Application 

 Most renovations in offices are to update an area or create more desk and meeting   space .   Collecting requirements and creating drawings that show the existing and   proposed plans are always effective by giving people the best understanding of the   changes . As stated in the lecture , visualization is used in each phase of innovation and   the stages of innovation are all used in the design process for renovations and so I   decided to take the steps of innovation and work through a project by following each   step . 

 Exploration - I first met with the management to understand their requirements and   their ideas for their space .                                                                                           Pattern Finding - I than took the information I had collected and synthesized it with the   office standards that we have to create a plan to move forward with .                      Ideation - Once I had a list of all the ideas that needed to go into the new space I   sketched out a plan and included all the requirements and standards .                     Prototyping - Once the sketch was done it was sent off to the interior designers to   finalize the drawing to ensure it meets all code requirements .                                                             Pilot - Once the final drawing was completed I presented it to the Line of Business to   review the plan and we took a look at the finishes and discussed any changes that   should be made . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I have always known that what I do includes a lot of visualization due to the nature of   the work … planning office space . But I never knew about the different stages in which to   work through to come up with a full and complete product .   I implemented the stages of   innovation which all included a form of visualization and found the whole process of   working on a new plan more seamless ; the data collection ( exploration & pattern   finding ) helped me a lot to work through the requirements . 

 This course has made me look more deeply in to some things I gloss over on a daily   basis .   I would normally quickly review requirements and then start on a plan but have   now learned that working through the stages and asking the rights questions in the   beginning help the process move along to create a successful product . 

 Another way of collecting the requirements for this type of project would be to do mind- mapping .   It would also allow me to learn a lot about what the group needs and how   they want it incorporated into their new space .
