Lecture 39 : Introduction, What is Sustainable Design?, Sustainable Greenhouse Design, Sustainable design principles
Exercise #01: Design a computer cabinet that will have maximum biodegradable material. New material should replace as much as possible conventional no-biodegradable material without losing the material property (strength and stability).
Saving earth resources has inspired innovative ideas. Saving energy is one of such areas that are drawing lot of attention. Electrically powered four-wheeler (plate 3A) emerges out of such ideas. Usage of energy in household device has become a major issue for the future generation products. Eco-dryer is (plate 3B) one of such products that has drastically reduced energy usage.
Rejected material can be a great source for innovative design solution. The Green Home Design by DaihaiFei (plate 4A- 4C) is an excellent example of Sustainable Design solution for temporary home. Using bags filled with saw-dust placed on spherical-shaped bamboo structure protects him from outside cold. “Necessity is the mother invention’ is truly experienced in Fei’s home design.
