Due for 4 March: STW + CTD
The Hub Technology and Function investigation and precedent submission (STW + CTD) due on 4 March, follows on the work done during block 1. However, this time you work INDIVIDUALLY. On A3 pages (as many as you need) show your understanding of the functional requirements of your selected Hub function. Use diagrams and text to explain and reference any sources. Refer to ergonomics, the experience (use verbs!) etc. Now find at least one FUNCTIONAL PRECEDENT. That is, a structure/ building similar in function. Explain how this chosen precedent(s) is/are relevant to your given problem (Hub). Now you move on to the technological requirements. You must investigate the given materials, i.e. gumpoles and marine ply. Research the sizes, material properties etc. Illustrate this with diagrams and text. Reference all sources. Now find at least one TECHNOLOGICAL PRECEDENT. That is, a structure/ building using similar (framed) technology/ materials. It may have a different function. Explain how this chosen precedent(s) is/are relavent to your given problem (Hub). This analysis will provide you with the necessary clues/ design informants to continue with the design process.

hi sounds good but will we be getting feedback before we start with this. i can't remember all the details on that day with regards to my hub
ReplyDeleteHi Alexia, we are busy putting together the feedback with regards to the architectural idea that your group formulated. But that is where the group input stops. You need to now please backtrack a bit and do your own INDIVIDUAL analyses. The only part of the group work that you will be drawing from, is the ARCHITECTURAL IDEA formulated during Block 1. Based on that, you will develop your own INDIVIDUAL designs. Hope that makes sense.
