Year 8 Theory Lesson 7: Developing Design Criteria

Reading: Developing Design Criteria

Developing design criteria involves establishing standards for success, including sustainability and usability. In Western Australia, Aboriginal knowledge shapes criteria for cultural appropriateness, such as in tool design that respects country. Globally, criteria include accessibility and environmental impact, balancing competing factors. These criteria guide the design process for effective solutions.

Aboriginal cultures integrate ethical criteria through traditional practices, ensuring community and environmental harmony. Developing criteria promotes positive societal contributions.
