PROJECT 1:
Research Poster
The aim of this assignment is to further translate the nature inspired concept from Assignment 1 to an architectural design idea to be incorporate into the completed previous studio project and proceed with the design development phase. In this project you are required to transform your understanding and analysis of inspiration into a creative and innovative design component of the project, for example, wall panel, structural system, passive energy generator, etc. The design component shall be linked to current issues of sustainability.
Learning Outcomes
1. Understand and able to explain the unique form and function of the chosen element of nature.
2. Explain how the concept that you have derived from your selected and studied natural element can be mimicked in your product/ design/ idea.
3. Produce a complete documentation and analysis of particular element of nature that inspired the design ideas.
4. Create a composition of the outcome of the analysis and interpretation of the potential design/ idea.
5. Discern and produce visually effective and communicative diagrams
6. Employ the use of diagrams to explore and investigate key ideas and thematic issues related to building design product/ idea.
