Some manifestation photos

I made a city that was powered by solar lights. This idea reflects my manifesto very well because it is using free energy to power this city i made. The point I'm communicating across is how a real life city could be powered by net zero energy meaning that the city is powered using free natural resources such as sunlight.

Here are some photo's of manifestation:

Manifesto Update

Manifesto ideas/concepts

Net-zero energy – nature and sustainability 

Designers need to use nature and sustainability to their advantage. Renewable energy is the way to a healthy, cheaper, reliable future. Renewable sources of energy are free. Wind. Water. Light. Heat. 

The points I want to bring across in my manifesto is that eco-design, specifically renewable energy is the way to go and how we can create a sustainable net zero energy building with renewable energy. With the likes of bio-engineering and using natural resources to create a building that is net zero. Net zero is a building that can power itself through natural sources. It’s a way to make cheap, affordable power and it is the way of the future because of the advantages it has over other resources. Also my evidence can be the Process Zero project, how the building has decreased it energy demand by 84% while the rest of the 16% is generated on site resulting in a net zero building.

I want my main points to be:
Sustainable, be renewable, and make a change.
The protection, conservation, efficiency, and re-use of water
The conservation, efficiency, and renewable use of energy
Non-polluting environments and healthy materials.
Holistic, Intrinsically Recyclable, restorative and Regenerative

Manifesto Draft:
I want to emphasis these main points in my manifesto and for my manifestation I want to create an object that powers itself! So I'm thinking of having a light bulb planted within a pot plant and hide a battery underneath the soil to power this light bulb. My point of this is to show people how natural resources can power objects!



You have one world. One life. One solution. Renewable energy is our future.
Project Process Zero reduced their energy demand by 84%. One net zero energy building making a huge change. We need more buildings like this. The power of bio-engineering and eco-design will create a better, more sustainable future. To stop pollution. To stop bad habits. To stop ruining this earth. Renewable energy is the future.
 

My final Hero render




I chose the city Sophronia because of its feeling I got out of the storyline with two completely different cities split by a stone wall. One side of the city is full of fun and colourful adventures having roller coasters, Ferris wheels and overall a circus themed city. On the other side of the wall we have a strictly business city with banks, factories and hospitals. What I took out of this was to create an abstract city with one side being colourful, bright and stand out whilst on the other side having an array of buildings representing the boring city of business. My generative approach to create this effect of fun vs boring was that I made an array of buildings that all looked the same with the aesthetic and colour giving the effect of having a boring city, while on the other side I generated intricate models that had all different aesthetics and different colours that were very vibrant giving the feeling of an exciting, interesting city. My renders tell this story of having a fun side and a boring side with the buildings being the stock standard grey and rectangle buildings, while on the other side my models are all colourful and intricate which makes them stand out. This creates the mood of being playful and exciting which is in harmonizes with my concept of fun vs boring.

Mobile App project

The existing wave of mobile and tablet applications is primarily commercial in nature, and rarely socially altruistic or active. Considering the demographics that are engaging with these devices, this presents an exciting niche in the application ecosystem.

Design and build a conversationally responsible, counter-consumerist culture mobile application.

This was a group project and our app was called "Drop". 

For this project I did 90% of the HTML,CSS and JavaScript along with the Design.

Well now you can with our app called Drop.

<font size="5"><p style="position: absolute; color:white" id="parahow">How to use Drop</p></font>

If you see something you like while wandering around the park, you can seize the moment by using our app!
</p>
            <br>
<p style="position: absolute; color:white" id="para3">
Firstly you choose whether you want to log in via Facebook or guest.
This will re-direct you accordingly. Once logged in the app will direct you to the home screen. This page you will see four buttons which are the camera, drops, map and logout. </p>
            <br>
            <p style="position: absolute; color:white" id="para4">
If you tap on the camera icon you will be able to capture a photo you want to upload. You can give it a title and description along with selecting a genre, then you can preview your image and then drop your image by clicking the Drop icon which is located below your previewed image. This will now re-direct to the map where you will see your freshly uploaded Drop at your current GPS location. From here you can click on your drop to view the title and description and double click to view the complete package which includes the title, description and image.
                </p>
            <br>
            <p style="position: absolute; color:white" id="para5">

On the map you can view all the drops within a certain radius of your position. The idea of the radius is to create an incentive for the you to keep on walking to find and view more ‘drops’. All other drops are greyed out an un-viewable. There are four buttons at the bottom of the page that re-direct you to certain parts of the app. A settings buttons that has options where you can control what kind of drops you want to view. You can turn off/on the genres of the drops, so for example if you wanted to just see a nature drop, you can toggle it accordingly. The slider is to change the rating of the view you want to see, so for example if you wanted to see the highest rating (5) you would change the slider accordingly. The next button on the map is a refresh button which refreshes the map, so if the drops aren’t showing up for some reason you can refresh the page. Third button is a camera button to re-direct you back to the camera page just in case you want to take more than one photo. Then lastly a home button which re-directs you to the home.
                </p>
            <br>
            <p style="position: absolute; color:white" id="para6">

The drops page is where you can view your drops that you have uploaded to the map. So if you wanted to show you friends this awesome drop and not search through the map to access it, you can go to this page to find and view it.
