The word prototype comes from the Greek “prototypon” which means “original”, “primitive”, “a first impression.” It is a product’s early model or sample that we use for testing a concept or a process. Start from the overall “function” and not with its form. As Mies would say here, “form follows function.” (From the Course Letter)
Dunne and Raby: project “Weeds, aliens and other stories,” the designers explored the English obsession with the garden and irrational relationships between people and their plants. The result was to produce a collection of psychological furniture for the home and garden.

6. Homework: I will make a “physical” prototype of my garden.
I did not have a pet bottle so I used a similar recipient. I learned some things while doing this prototype. The hanging wire must be strong or it will bend. The hole on the bottle cap must be tiny. You can do it on the side and not on the bottom of the bottle cap. If you do a tiny hole the thred will block the water. A big hole will let the water flow out. A tiny hole and nylon thread, like the one we use in ladies necklasses is the ideal.
