Manifesto

As we are all designers, we all have contrasting views and perceptions of what makes a good or bad design. One element which links us all together are the stages of the design process through which exploring possibilities and constraints focuses our critical thinking and research towards a common objective.

Through this project we are forming an interactive design that will engage art, nature, people and place on a day-to-day basis. Our project will illustrate how different forms of a membrane structure, grid shells, origami and biology are composed together in a symbiotic relationship to form a sustainable concept.

Our plan / convention will address the physical and spatial parameters of our design with a thorough understanding of its role in our environment and its potential to function as a living space. The site we have chosen to implement our design is the spiritual center, which has a strong focus on nature and raw materials. Our plan / convention will draw elements from these and inform how our concept will develop.

Autonomous Vertical Garden Irrigation

Very interesting project called Acoustic Mirror Moss by David de Buyser using sensor based technologies to constantly monitor moisture conductivity within a moss. Interestingly this complex project utilises DIY technology such as 'Arduino' which is readily available. If time restrictions and budget were not so limiting, I believe that this precedent could hold real potential for landart7's group project installation.
