Lecture 3 - Product

Product

These lecture give us a clear sight what product means.

There are some items which a product must have:

- first element of a product is the intention of it
-you have to understand the product
-it must have an identity
-it has to be indentified with the seven scales, but it depends on the product
-it must have => from and space
attributes of space - Color, Texture, Pattern, Size, Glow, Shine
Transparency any configuration of an object
attributes of form - should be discibed as welcoming, tight, accomodating
and so on
-it must have => nodes and paths
-illusion - "An illusion is a distortion of the senses, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation." They may be Optical(visual), Auditory(hearing and sound) and illusion from other senses like taste and smelling. These illusions are shared by almost everyone. Illusions may also arise due to disorders in certain few individuals.

To visulize if all seven scales can be identified, I consider this website as an example:

-It represents the Object scale for sure, the header, side bar and posts are the objects of this website.
-In Interior scale, the Template design and any custom made changes are represented.
-Building scale? yes! Thats the whole website, (remember, a product is not always physical. It may also be virtual)
-Premise scale? May be! This website is a part of a project given to all the students of HBP. From my point of view this website does not represent in the premise scale but to our lecturer it surely will.
-It isn't represented in the urban or regional scale since its confined to the students of HBP only.
-In the Global scale it is counted since it's in the WWW and anybody anywhere can access it.






To illustrate what a product is, it is the best to give an example.
A product has to be developed and it has many attributes, like for an example a property.
A property is out of different materials, that is one of the attributes of an product or in that case of an property.
