Reflection 1 / Term 1 2013


This Semester in Design Technology the class is creating a design of a sustainable resort model. This is a resort that is self sustainable and eco-friendly, which is, i think, a very important aspect of design to learn about because i believe this may be the cure to a lot of global issues today such as; Climate change, and global warming. Sustainable architecture is a general term that describes environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture. Sustainable architecture is framed by the pressing economic and political issues of our world.
Sustainable architecture is always environmentally-friendly. This makes it beneficial to not only the people who wish to inhabit the structure, but also to the environment around the structure. Sustainable architecture is prominently the 'future' of design and the cure to climate change therefore it's importance cannot be emphasised enough.
I'm extremely excited to be working on this unit and so far I have only created the base. The base structure is made of timber, and seeing as it is a model is only quite small (I'm not quite sure the specific measurements of the base).
Hopefully I can start ideation by next week, but currently I am meerly researching and investigating the different materials I will be using in the production of my design, and what a possible resort design I might do.
I will shortly post up a time-management table, which will clearly show how I plan to go about making my structure and will help me manage my time more efficiently.
