"The web of relationships in the index of the language allows for many different paths through the design process. This simplifies the designer's life, because the design process can start from any part of the problem that the designer understands, and work toward the unknown parts. At the same time, if the pattern language has worked well for many projects, there is reason to believe that even though the designer may not completely understand the design problems at first, the process will complete, and the resulting design will be usable."[3]
Client
Our site analysis did not indicate a strong desire for investment from clients which we pursued. We propose to have our own start up business. The TU Delft career centre helps students with a business plan
Funding will be provided by Venture Capitalist wanting to invest in new and exciting projects. This will cover the initial start up capital needed for the project. Maintenance costs will be covered by income when the site is used for large functions by companies or individual who want to use the site as an exhibition space.
