After taking considering the feedback given by Greensgrow, we had to figure out how to make something highly visible, non-rectangular, that would be inside of the fence, not interfere with walking patterns and be low-cost. We soon realized that a triangular shape would work well but needed to get some sense of reference for how it would look so we built a small model. We tried a couple shapes and soon noticed that we could potentially get 6 banners from only 1 large print. This would reduce the overall cost and material but still yield high visibility.

After pinning ourselves down to exploring the world of construction, we needed to learn more about Philly architecture. We went out and captured an array of Philly buildings and various materials as well as various mounting mechanisms and planter materials.
Those photos brought us back to the drawing board and we started sketching. We pooled our ideas together and categorized them. This helped choose our next direction.
We decided we could reach a wider range of users if we target installed base rather than new construction. Ideally we would like to make a system that can be implemented during or post construction.
This weeks concepts:
Last week we showed 5 more concepts that showed further development of one particular topic. The concepts mainly focused on getting plants into the household. But our modified cinder block got the best responses as far as an area that needs design. This concept would pertain to the world of construction and architecture.
We’re pretty excited about this idea. There was also talk about possible business models that could come from this. At this point, we’ll need to research more into other building materials and also talk to people who are in this field.
