After generating the Use Cases (scenarios for using the deck), my
next goal is to generate a collection of high-level ideas for various aspects
of the deck. I include pictures and thoughts in each area for things that
I've seen elsewhere--either on other decks I've seen, or from books—that
I might want to incorporate into the design of our deck. So the list of
high-level ideas then serves as a collection of examples that I'll draw upon
when finalizing decisions about the design of our deck.
These ideas are focused on high-level aspects, like deck platforms,
elevations, main areas, etc. I'm not yet focusing on details like
railings, trim, and other visual aspects.
Below is a list of topics for which I've generated/collected some
high-level ideas. Click on one of the topics to see the ideas that I've
collected for that topic.
