TROJAN HORSE
BOTTOM UP APPROACH
Residence of the site collects energy & exchange for other types of commodities - local businesses Solar, Kinetic & Hydro power
Gets points e.g.Flybuys

BLURRING THE LINE
3
Pods around the city emitting light/sound from other parts of the city
4
Installation showing which parts of the city collects the most renewable energy vs. energy use
for both campers & the homeless
5
Local Businesses
Vandalism used instead
6
Urban Farming & Local businesses

Energy collection translated into an art form/sculpture

CARLO’S VISIT | CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
• USED TO COLLECT RUBBISH - SKIMS ON SURFACE + SWIMS • CONNECTS PEOPLE TO SITE - VISUAL + WIFI INTERACTION • NO USER CONTROL WITHIN 10 HR = AUTOMATIC • SONIC EMITTER - WARNS
• IMAGE RECOGNITION TO ONLY COLLECT RUBBISH • SORTS OUT THE TYPES OF RUBBISH WHEN IT REACHES BASE • POWERED BY ELECTRICITY PRODUCED ON SITE FROM BIKES
DRONES IDEAS | DESIGN RESEARCH
VIDEO GAME + BIKE + POWER SUPPLY • BIKES AS A CONTROLLER & POWER FOR THE DRONES • USING YOUR OWN PHONE/TABLET AS A MONITOR • DOWNLOAD APP WITH FREE WIFI & APP INCLUDES DATA FEEDBACK • E.G. COPENHAGEN HOTEL PAYS GUESTS TO RIDE
POINTS
• POINTS - AMOUNT OF ENERGY OR AMOUNT/TYPES OF RUBBISH COLLECTED (OR BOTH) • USED ONLY FOR LOCAL PRODUCE AND SERVICES - CALCULATED BY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT • MYKI? • E.G. COPENHAGEN BIKE POINT SYSTEM (FLYBY POINTS)
BIKE & ENERGY | DESIGN RESEARCH
• PRINCES BRIDGE TO BATMAN PARK - RANGE OF DRONES INTERVENTION • THE SONIC SCANNER CAN READ HOW MUCH RUBBISH COMES IN AND OUT OF AN AREA & CALCULATE WHERE THE RUBBISH STARTS FROM • RUBBISH RECOGNITION - CONCEPT FROM FACE RECOGNITION OR IMAGE SOURCING FROM SEARCH ENGINE

• WATER AERATION SYSTEM WITH WATERFALL FEATURES • PLATFORM = MODULAR = PORTABLE, BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP THE IDEA OF RESPECTING THE LAND AND NOT DAMAGING IT TOO MUCH “CAMPING” • MODULAR = EASY MANIPULATION E.G. LEVELS, SIZE • ON GROUND VISUAL AID

REFLECTION
THE LEARNING BEHIND THIS STUDIO HAS ALLOWED FOR A MORE DARING APPROACH TOWARDS DESIGN, THE IDEA OF FAILING IS A THEME THAT HAS BEEN EMBRACED WITH A LOT MORE COURAGE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY FLAWS TO THESE CONCEPTS, IT HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO BETTER DEVELOPMENT THESE IDEAS. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN HAS GONE THROUGH VIARIOUS INTERATIONS, AND HAS MANY MORE TO GO THROUGH. UP UNTIL NOW, THERE ARE OTHER CHANGES I WOULD DO TO FURTHER THE DESIGN INTENT, OR EVEN TAKE A WHOLE NEW APPROACH TO THE BREIF. HOWEVER,WITH TIME AND PATIENCE COMES INNOVATION.
