What i have understand from this 3rd lecture is that product must contains all the following elements:

form-space
nodes-paths
illusion

And all the elements are related with each other and it start with a form. A form must contains all the following attributes:

Picture From: http://www.hbp.usm.my/1b/RAG132/2008/L3product.htm

SPACE has a relationship with a NODE-PATH..

A node-path will combine with each other and will produce a SPACE. As example, we can see from the picture below:

Node is combine with a path and it produce a SPACE..

From the lecture, I also understand that product also can be a illusion..

Illusion is defined as a perception, as of visual stimuli (optical illusion), that represents what is perceived in a way different from the way it is in reality

1) Architect : designing and furnishing the dome.
2) Planner : plan the strategy on how to build up the dome.
3) Quantity surveyor : calculating all the measurement of the materials in producing the dome.
4) Construction manager : ensure the progressions of the project are in the right path and smooth.
5) Interior designer : co-operate with architect in designing and furnishing the dome.

First, we were discussing about the dome that we were going to produce and then deciding about the material that will be used. We also were looking for the identity of our team. From the discussion we have concluded that we were going to produce is 1V dome with radius 3 feet or 0.92m and 2.27m height. The material that we used is trouncing pipe
and had been sponsored by one of our group member’s family.

Product

Radius : 0.92m

To build the dome we have used different size of trouncing pipes. We have eight pieces pipes length 1.83m each, 4 pieces pipes length 1.63m and some more. We also use some connectors to join the pipes. The shape of our dome is square at the base and pyramid shape at the above. It can accommodate more than five people and it is light so we can carry it.
