Assignment 1 | Due Friday 1/15/16
Charette the Solar System Choose a solar system object from the following:
(1) Define the metrics of the object. Define the Day-Night Cycle (Oh it’s a moon of another planet? An asteroid? Figure it out.) Define the distance of this object from Earth (In time? Scale? Means of Transportation? Decide yourself.) Define the scale of the object (By comparison? To what? Decide your own metrics.) Describe a major planetary feature in relationship to the scale of a human body, structure, and “city.” Identify local resources/elements, identify what we use those for on earth. Identify temperature and pressure ranges, identify any earth creature that can survive in it. (2) Design an (entity/being/architecture) that would survive/evolve in this environment. What would it be made out of? What would it eat? / Where would it get it’s energy? / Define its inputs and outputs How would it move? (the definition of life includes GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, ACTIVITY, CHANGE…. or does it ?) (3) Based on this (entity/being/architecture) design a system to enclose and maintain a human body in this environment.
