Work Book HDG602 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN (Design Research Studio) Project name: Swin Green Project (Eco-Footprint) Lecturer name: Nicholas Mau Class time: Monday 2.00 pm Deadline date: 05 June 2008 Student Name: rueanglada,PUNYALIKHIT (Kwan) Student ID: 5753295 (MMD)
Introduction This project is indication of sustainable design also referred to as “green design”, “eco-design”, or “design for environment, it is the art of designing physical objects and the built environment to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability. Nowadays, people use resources more than they have and need. Some existing resources that we have no more people use those things also, they always looking for the new thing to replace it because they would like to have more convenient, fashionable and discovery new thing to full fill they need for make the better life but sometime people forgot to think about how to make it sustainable. Moreover, Eco-footprint measures human consumption of natural resources and energy. In general, as a planet, our
global footprint is increasing daily due to people consuming more and more. To come up with research question is, How to increase people awareness about existing resources in Swinburne? Have you ever wondered how sustainable anthropogenic effects are on the planet? Calculating the human populations global ecological footprint and then comparing it to the earths capacity to sustain itself provides a dramatic example of how inefficient we are, and how energy intensive our needs are.
Motivation Why is this research question important? As we know, Eco-footprint measures human consumption of natural resources and energy. Why calculate your footprint? Today, humanity’s Eco-footprint is over 23% larger than what the plant can regenerate. It is very unlikely that the earth will be able to withstand the current level of demand for very much longer without some severe ecological backlash. Far better, then, that we begin to control our own destiny and reduce our ecological footprint
sustainable in Swinburne such as Planet Swinburne Posters, Green Office 10 Point Plan as well as a cartoon poster that are cover issues of recycle paper Energy usage.
From this point, we are design student and we come up with the research question, How to increase awareness of existing resources in Swinburne? So, would like to investigate how practices impact on the sustainability and support to increase ecological footprint not only to increases awareness the Furthermore, Swinburne University has been done university consumption but also the global footprint. Swin Green Office is a simple way for Swinburne Offices to reduce their spending on resource use and their impact on the environment. Swin Green Office also provides various information to awareness

Concept From the analysis, people are still used resources as well as existing resources more than available also some resources people are use not usefulness of ecological footprint. These 8 concepts propose to make people have increase awareness of existing resources in Swinburne University. This concept would encourage the audience that main problems of research question is existing resources in Swinburne, in some case no more people use it. On the other hand, in some case people used more than available.
So, how can we solve those problems together? We chosen the concept of renovate plus reactivate plus recapture that means, we try to change something to be a fresh look and left some point (renovate) by using a design conduce to people feel attractive (reactivate) also repeat itself by play with human behaviour (recapture). Indeed, our concept is to create the idea to adapt with their life style that people want to spend more time with
Website The concept of Swin green project website its came from a theme of the campaign, which is balance with nature and human life style also focused on Swinburne. Used the light green, dark-green and brown color as a main color. Used a blue sky to conduce people feel relax and clear. And play with the green color by used grasses to present. Also, set the swin board that a retouch from a real photo to represent Swinburne University. For the menu show in the brown color and used a gold color (in action up and over link) to get people fell as a ground floor.

Mapping and Research Poster Both of these are answer the way of Ecological Footprint in Swinburne also Global Footprint as well. The first one,Mapping Poster, base on the concept of what is the footprint came from. Used a coffee cup show people activity in University or public space nowadays most people always buy a cup of coffee during a day. So, what happen when you buy just a cup of coffee. The second, Research Poster, this poster and answer the question that we know from the first poster which is everyday in every minute cause of people made a footprint so, the way hat can solve this problem we have to keep the balance. Also, we was design by the one way that can increase the footprint is our applications and also you too.
