HOUSES WITHOUT A HOME
HOUSES WITHOUT A HOME
The Bay of Islands College Building Academy is looking for its portfolio's next big Grand Design. They have approached you to create something inspired by a Movement or era in human history. The "Houses without a home" involves creating a home for your WHANAU Houses (miro, rata, kauri, kowhai, totara) Refer to the DESIGN MOVEMENTS PAGE for more info.
You will design a Shipping Container HOME with the following requirements.
Use X2 Shipping Containers 40FT High Cube Internal Dimensions (L x W x H) 12.05 x 2.35 x 2.69m
It needs to accommodate a group of people in different rooms
and have identifiable characteristics from your researched movement or era.
MUST HAVE
X2 study rooms
X2 toilets
Shared Lounge
Meeting room
kitchen
This activity requires you to create a portfolio of design work that shows the generation and development of ideas for a spatial design which demonstrates different ideas that interpret and embed the identified characteristics of a selected design movement or era.
You will apply visual communication and design techniques and knowledge to initiate, explore, and refine your ideas. Visual communication refers to the effective communication and presentation of design ideas using modelling and graphic design techniques. Initially, students learn to communicate and present their design ideas and information by applying 2D and 3D visual communication techniques such as sketching, rendering, mock-ups, digital drawing and modelling, annotations, instrumental, templates, collages, overlays, Students progress to effectively and clearly applying complex and high-quality visual techniques and knowledge that communicate a story to an audience - the intent of their design ideas.
Focus on developing your ideas, informed by design principles and influences (cultural, historical, societal, and technological) that are associated with the selected design movement or era. Consider how elements of design such as shape, form, rhythm, balance, proportion, colour and contrast, durability, stability, and flexibility/rigidity, characterise the movement/era.
Creating your portfolio involves three phases:
Initial research
Initial ideas
Ideas development.
Your portfolio must show the progression of your design ideas and could include visual diaries, sketches, drawings, models, photographs, digital media, display boards, or installations.
Design Brief
Design Brief
Generate and develop an idea for spatial design) to be placed outside the C6 classroom, in between C Block and the school hall. Your land art design will:
integrate design principles and influences (cultural, historical, societal, and technological) that are associated with a selected design movement or era;
take into account the environmental conditions (topography, weather, aspect, surrounding building and natural features, etc.) of the chosen location.
You should present a series of ideas expressed through the extensive use of visual modes (sketches, mock-ups, instrumental drawings, and photographs), supported by annotations as required.

Initial Research
Initial Research
Select one of the following design movements or eras to research. Explore the characteristics of the movement/era, as well as the historical/cultural context and the designers and architects who influenced it:
Design movements include but are not limited to; Modernism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Deconstructivism, New Look
Design eras include but are not limited to; Aztec, pre-European Māori, Shogun, Renaissance, Victorian, 1920s, and 1960s.
Collect images (photographs and/or drawings) of significant buildings, furniture, or product designs that display characteristics typical of your selected design movement/era.
Explain the elements of design that characterise the design movement.
Describe the social factors (cultural, historical, societal, and technological) that influenced the design movement or era. This could include relating the key design features and ideas to what was happening in society at the time.
Initial Ideas
Initial Ideas
Generate initial ideas for the exterior form and layout of two container home, exploring spatial ideas and themes that interpret and embed characteristics of your selected design movement.
Inspiration for your ideas can come from existing designs and your own creativity, but it is important to think about how you can embed design characteristics from your movement or era into your ideas.
The sketches or mock-ups you produce should be regarded as starting points for possible development. At this stage, all ideas are exploratory.
Ideas development
Ideas development
Show progression in your thinking by refining and reviewing initial ideas and identifying which of these you prefer. Your preference may be for a particular idea or parts or combinations of several ideas. Explain your choices.
Explore, refine and review your selected idea (or combination of ideas), using visual communication techniques and approaches that explain your design thinking.
Carry out further research into the movement/era as necessary to help you integrate and embed its characteristics with your own design ideas in aesthetic and/or functional ways.
Use modes and media that best present features such as line, texture, colour, shape, form, proportion, etc., to show how the characteristics of your selected movement/era are integrated into your preferred design.
At the conclusion of the development process, the features of your final outcome must be clearly established and clearly identifiable.
Complete the organisation and annotation of your portfolio and present it to your teacher for assessment.
