Explanation: Project Structure Plan (PSP)
From the very beginning, a clearly laid-out is required in order to present a complex design task. The Project Structure Plan (PSP) is the best approach. This displays, at best in the form of a tree structure, all instances that are necessary to reach the project goal, for example the design of a building object1. Here, the results are compiled together in task units. Depending on how complex the MADE Project is, and how high the number of task units is, several levels of classification must be included to clearly structure the project in its entirety. Finally, the purpose of the PSP is present all known activities at the time of planning in such a way that it becomes easier to recognise if something is missing. Therefore there is no ‘false’ Project Structure Plan but rather only an incomplete one.
Project Structure Plans can often be compiled in various ways, either
• Object-oriented
• Result-oriented or
• With both possibilities combined.
Referring to “object-oriented”
Referring to „result-oriented“
Referring to „object-/result oriented“
„Goal list: Dense low-rise residential building”
By presenting the tasks in tree form the Project Structure Plan offers an excellent overview of the entire project and supports group thinking as the entire projects remains in focus.

Explanation: Project Structure Plan:
object-oriented
The term Project Structure Plan: object-oriented refers to a hierarchically-organised number of clearly defined object elements that, due to functional considerations, are in direct relation to one another and form a single large unit – an object.2 This larger unit consists of object elements or so-called object parts, object areas, object part areas through to object spaces and puts these in order via key numbers. By naming and ordering these object elements, adaptations on future models are also made possible.

Example: MOTEL
The entire function of the object “MOTEL” consists of offering travellers a replacement for the dwelling during a journey with their cars, specifically to remain their temporarily with their car. The following main functions can be derived from the absolute function:
• To recuperate
• To wash
• To dine
• To converse with others
• Guests register and de-register
• To park their cars
Corresponding rooms have to be created for these purposes. Under certain circumstances, the main functions can be grouped together spatially in such a way that recuperation, conversation, washing all take place in a living/sleeping room with a washing corner. A main function can also be further reduced into sub-functions such as e.g. washing in: physically washing one’s person, showering, bathing, so that more corresponding rooms are the result of further task functional division.
Depending on the level of pretense and need satisfaction among the guests, there can be a limited or larger division of main functions into part-functions, sub-functions with corresponding rooms, if necessary down to the basic function with the relevant positions (Object Matrix).

The didactic significance of this approach is that the student is given the opportunity to develop an object from its known main functions.
Objects can be developed from two fixed viewpoints, those being:
(1) From the view of the guest or user. In this case, virtually all of the previously listed main functions (see above) will be of interest.
(2) The owner of the motel. In this case, the additional main function “efficient management” with the sub-functions such as preparing and arranging courses, storing food stuff, washing and drying clothing, ironing, cleaning rooms must also be part of the equation.
