Drawing and Design Fundamentals

Design Situation

A local environmental group has opened up a competition to develop designs for the "The ultimate sustainable home". The house can contain any elements that you want,

but must include an aspect of "green" technologies. 

Key Concept: Communication

Related Concepts: Adaptation and Form

Global Contexts: Scientific and Technical Innovation

How the world works: an inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.

Statement of Inquiry: We can communicate design in a variety of techniques, through the use of traditional and digital formats.

ATL Skills: Communication, Self Organisation, Research

MYP Design Cycle criterion

This is a semester long unit covering the complete MYP Criterion. The maximum awarded for each criterion is 8 marks.

Criterion A: Inquiry and Analysis

Criterion B: Developing ideas

Criterion C: Creating the Solution

Criterion D: Evaluating

Digital and Product Design Skills: 2D, freehand, shading, isometric, orthographic, perspective, and 3D (CAD) software

The school is planning room changes. The Computer Lab needs to become a Design space, the library needs to be a community learning and media centre, the Auditorium needs to become more versatile, and the roof has the potential to  become a Design Technology and maintenance workshop as well as a garden. You need to produce some drawings to share with the administration of the school.
