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.

Related Concepts: Adaptation and Form

Global Contexts: Scientific and Technical Innovation

Statement of Inquiry: We can communicate design in a variety of drawing 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.

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.
