Project Two: Enabling Sustainability

Second major project for Studio 3A is about enabling sustainability within a community. Our focus area is the New College on campus.

First of all, here are my 3 concepts for infusing sustainable impact on New College:

QUICK SOLUTION

SLOW SOLUTION

CO-OP SOLUTION
Basically it's a dormitory overloaded with approx. 280 students from UNSW, with around 56 students on each floor, mixed genders.

Some concerns with their energy / water consumption: 24-hour access to cordial machines & refrigerated beverages, undercarpet heating that turns on at certain intervals during the winter days (for the whole building, even when students may not be inside the rooms), 24-hr air-conditioning of the computer room to keep the server cool, unregulated use of the $2 washing machines (2 on each floor, 4 floors in total), etc.

Basically my idea behind each concept is by providing visual and interactive communication within the environment so the students can be readily informed and behaviourally ameliorated towards a sustainable norm.
