- solar energy harvesting
- microcontroller programming (arduino) and circuit building
- Parametric modelling (Digital Project)
- Digital Fabrication
Our first meeting was a brainstorm session, where we tried to develop a sense of what everyone was interested in and eager to pursue for a final project
Interests among group/issues
- inhabitable
- use of fab lab
- human interface
- shelter
- self-contained
- sustainability
- materiality/fabrication
- form
- modularity
- simplicity/elegance
- affordability
- reproducible
- who is the audience?
- use of shortcuts (good/bad)
- wearable?
- solving a social problem, economic problem, cultural problem
- Resources
- cradle to cradle
- decomposition
- energy tapping
- design of the city - urban design, public vs. private
- "rainforest effect" - layering
- connect the future to the past
- Biomimicry - mimic the actions of nature
- kinetic energy - potential energy
- existing energy sources
- something for nothing
Initial Constraints for project after this first meeting
- Urban space
- biomimicry
