Housing+and+Design

**Welcome to Housing and Design**

Throughout this class, we will not only explore different design elements, but also practice designing the various parts of a house. Your final project will be to design a "dream home" for a particular family. So... lets get started

This first week we are going to explore what the difference is between your wants and your needs. What do people need out of a house and what is the difference between a house and a home? We all have some basic needs. According to a famous Psychologist, Abraham Maslow, if some of the basic(physical) needs are not met, the rest of our needs(psychological) will not be fully met. He put it in a pyramid shaped diagram to show this and it is called Maslow's Hierarchy.
