Eesti Maja: Estonian User Needs Analysis

From an engineering design perspective, a needs analysis should come before the design solution is conceptualized. It should answer: who what when where why and how. This picture demonstrates many of the answers.
Elementally…

Who: eestlased of all ages
What: supplementary education, choir, banking and insurance, special events and social organization meetings
When: In the non-summer months when most activities are indoors, mostly in the evening when it is dark and glass walls are of no value and consume extra heating costs
Where: near easy highway and TTC access since many are coming from suburbs; it was nice that there was plenty of free parking to take the overflow in this example
Why: to see others from our heritage (best if there are lots of us there at the same time)
How: Please refer to the photo
