(In this area, state whether a proposal should be written or not. Offer a rationale for your
decision.)
A proposal should be written because research in the end-users needs and wants will lead to
the necessary materials for the environment and structure. From there, once we have the
requirements needed, we may come up with the overall design for the structure of the building
at hand. As such, we can effectively combine the structural, behavioral, environmental, and
material elements to produce more holistic research.
