GROUP EXERCISE
• THIS WEEK – Experimentation: Exploring & Challenging
o Each group member choose the best of their designs from last week’s
practical
o The group votes on the 3 best designs
o Using the idea of experimentation the whole group discusses and
researches
how each chosen design concept could be explored and challenged
o The Scribe for each group documents findings for 3 designs under these
headings
a) Design Exploration
b) Design Challenges
Design from Methavi
Material – inner tube, plastic basin, two-piece caddle
Shape - round
Power – energy from human
a) Design Exploration
- The concept is very clever but need to develop design.
b) Design Challenges
It is a very good idea for personal eco-transport but how about these things?
- Safe?
- Convenient?
My design
Function - float on the water
- light
- come with 2 paddle and 1 seat
Materials - 70 plastic bottles (0.5 liter), wire, plastic paper tape, 2paddle
a) Design Exploration
- develop design.
b) Design Challenges
- Safe?
- Convenient?
PRACTICAL – Design Exploration
30 mins – Choose your favourite concept from all your current 3D designs
• Use any tools you wish
• Put the results and a paragraph of description in your Blog
• Through a combo of research and creative thinking explore the
possibilities of
concept experimentation, variation and evaluation
• List these items clearly, draft examples and explain your thinking
o Two Experiments
o Pros & Cons
o Choosing & Refusing
Favorite concept 3D design : Bottle Boat
My Bottle boat
This idea I get it from Thailand. We always face with flood. In that situation, everything around us which can be useful will be used to produce the necessary things like boat. One of the useful things is plastic bottles
Two Experiments
1. This is a similarity with my boat but this one use the bigger plastic bottles to make boat. This boat was designed for two seats and come with long shape.
2. This bottle boat is combination between bottle and wood. It comes with the seat and work like you cycling.
Pros & Cons
Choosing & refusing
I think this two design are very clever for eco-transport but I think the first would be a better one for the concept "personal Eco-transport. The second might use more metarial and more expensive than the first one.
I think my idea and Methvi's idea are the same. We thinking about boat for the personal eco-transport. This is another guy who try to make his boat by bottle and it can use. Actually, everything around us could be use to make something that can help our life easier and don't need to spend a lot of money on it. Bottle boat is one of the example about eco-trasport which use bottles to make and it also can help our world from global warming.
This is very imaginative and well executed - congrats
