The scope of the design task reiterates a simple functional scheme with which participants in engineering studies should be familiar (e.g. a small retail unit or residential building).

In the first phase of work, participants strive to write all conditions, input data, and idea components of the concept in a univocal manner. It is on their basis that they develop an algorithm guiding progress in the creative process (in line with information technology criteria). The preliminary design phase closes with the presentation of a theoretical procedural model (schematic diagram) that will serve in further work.

In the second design phase, the participants strive to implement successive elements of the algorithm as formulated. The process takes place in a traditional studio environment (assuming the algorithm does not assign a different solution). Should the creative process necessitate the modification of the previously assumed scheme, students note the reason and the scope of change to the initial schematic.

The final presentation encompasses the algorithm schematic diagram, notes covering introduced modifications, inclusive of interpretation, and spatial effects, inclusive of description.
