ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
This module introduces students to environmental issues and provides some in-depth understanding of the complexities and interactions that the design and construction professions have to deal with to contain some of the irreversible damage that human settlement causes to the environment. Modules also intend to instill basic ecological literacy and environmental concerns through projects that involves local environment and society.
Project 1: Green to Go
The Green to Go project is a project aimed to encourage students to use their talents to raise awareness of contemporary environmental and social issues. This project requires outside of classroom environmental issues exploration and textbook knowledge to encourage architecture students to do their part by producing short films
that reflects these concerns and to be part of the change for a better world with their creative thoughts. The project also aims to enhance student’s creativity and confidence by providing them with an opportunity to express their findings through multimedia presentation. The short movie is expected to have impactful information, data, and graphic/visuals etc.
Storyboard
This is a project that is to be carried out in groups of 6. My group decided to focus on plastic recycling. In our video, we wish to convey the message that plastic recycling is not the answer as the plastic can only be recycled once and it will end up in the rubbish dump anyways. The real answer to this environmental dilemma is to reduce using plastic and turn to alternative resources.
