Create a Design Material & Inspiration Board
During the 2020 Virtual Hip Hop Architecture Camp you were tasked with the challenge of creating a business idea that would contribute positively to your community, and then using Tinkercad to design a building for your business concept. For this assignment you will continue to develop the design language of your building.
Develop a Google Slides or PowerPoint document (maximum 2 pages) with design images from the internet which represent the building materials, design concepts and project precedents for your proposed building. This will be used to help describe your design intent to your host firm as they develop your final renderings. To help you get started, view resources and examples below.

Going Further
Material boards are a great way to present building materials to a client! While architects typically create material boards for the exterior of a project, interior designers create material boards for the interior spaces. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, architects may create all the material boards. Some clients have established aesthetics which must be repeated in each building they construct. These clients will supply the design team with material boards.
