Research Topic

New Urbanism in Architecture

Background

Urban planning has been around since centuries ago. The meaning of urban planning in simple words means improvement. Urban plan has been improved in every stage of generation. Urban planning is also the technical process with the control use of land and design of the urban environment. These urban environment include transportation, networks, building and surroundings. The urban plan itself is a research and analysis workload.

Problem Identification
People do realize the benefit of urban planning in architecture. They do not care about urban planning.

Aim and Objectives
To show viewers the changing of building architecture from past to future.
To acknowledge the benefit of New Urban Planning in Modern Day architecture

Motivation
Most people design their houses based on inspiration. All these inspirations are part of new urbanism. The society are not aware of "What is urban planning".

Ideation and Concept
Using a 21" Touch Screen LCD by creating interactions.
User only have to touch or swipe, application will respond to user.
Application creates a timeline to show revolution of urban planning in housing architecture
Content : Information, Graphic, animation
Interactions : Touch, Tap, Swipe

Research Topic

Environment Pollution

Background

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. The Blacksmith Institute issues an annual list of the world's worst polluted places. In the 2007 issues the ten top nominees are located in Azerbaijan, China, India, Peru, Russia, Ukraine and Zambia. 

Problem Identification
Society is aware of problem but not reacting to solve.
Increasing rate of urbanization along with increase in population in the urban areas adds an additional impetus to the above problems.
Society is Education but not conscious about the environment.

Aim and Objectives
To educate the society about the consequences if problem continues.
To awaken and sensitize people about their being the best creation on earth and to lead a life worthy of humans.
To educate and motivate people against environmental pollution

Motivation

I am motivated to save the environment. Now is the eco-green trend. Every human being has its own part in saving the earth and environment. I am highly motivated to create an awareness to remind the society of the pollution that is getting worst and its consequences along the way, in hope that everyone will start realizing and change the world.

Ideation and Concept

Using 21' LCD TOUCH SCREEN
Create a virtual planet "EARTH ".
Options with values are for user to choose.
Each values affect the earth's atmosphere and condition

Research Topic

Waste Management

Background

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

There are some ISO standards relating to recycling such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management control of recycling practice.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste – such as food or garden waste – is not typically considered recycling.^[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

Problem  Identification

Waste on the earth is increasing massively.
Environment pollution.
Greenhouse Gasses

Aim and Objectives

To encourage the society to recycle more
To create a clean and sustainable environment
To promote a Healthy & Safety standards

Motivation

The world is coming to an end, I would like to live longer. There are natural resources which are reusable should be reused. Recycling helps promote less production from nature and more production by recycled items.

Ideation and Concept

Using 21' LCD TOUCH SCREEN
Create a game which consist of different types of waste
User will be asked to put items into the correct recycling bin.
Each correct choices earn user points.
The longer the user plays, the more items appear and faster.
