Chain Reactions Challenge
Vertical Divider
|
Each Team should consist of "4 to 6 members".
You are required to build a physical model that allows a small ball to travel in a journey of 60 Seconds non-stop in a specific and defined volume before hitting its final destination. You will need to build this model according to a certain criteria that fulfills both form and functions aspects and limitation implementing all the principles you have already learned. The main challenge is to keep the ball moving for 60 seconds in a small volume. Every project needs to have its own special character that’s where your creative thinking comes into place! |
Phase 1
|
Creative Thinking
You will be learning about the human thinking process and patterns. You will also be introduced to tools and techniques that will help you think creatively. In other words: “Think outside the box” Design Principles How can we differ good designs from bad ones? Is it just about the taste? In these two sessions you will be learning about the fundamental principles of design and how to use it to create your own designs. Starting by the elements and how to compose them together ending with selecting colors and finally a small project at the end of each session to apply these principles. As a training for our big project at the end of the workshop! Concept & Idea Generation The story behind your design. What makes every building and design project unique and different ? It’s the design concept that inspires your design. We will learn about the sources of design concepts and how to apply these concepts on a small project in session. |
Phase 2
|
Group Project
You will be divided into groups of 5 to work on a project for 2 weeks. The aim of this project is to apply what you have learned throughout the sessions in an architecture design studio environment. As you are going to develop a concept, draw your ideas and bring it to life in a physical model! Project Description Architecture Track will be provided by Eng. Mirna Wael and Eng. Muhammed Darwish
