Assumptions and a good brief

So we were asked to draw a rectangle and in it me must put a house, terrace, pool and orchard. I then proceeded to draw all of these things in my rectangle without thinking too much. Afterwards we were asked a few questions which we realised we had just assumed. Which way was north? Well I had assumed up but it wasn't specified. What was the scale of the area? I just made it up to fit the idea I had. What type of pool was it? I had drawn a swimming pool without even thinking.

This made me realise the importance of asking the right questions, collecting the right information and getting a good brief. Otherwise we could all end up assuming anything and get a design completely wrong.
