PROJECT 1 NARRATIVE PROGRAMMING –MLE

The project timeline is flexible, allowing for future projections determined by the group's narrative. The proposed site can be located anywhere in the world, such as the Sahara, Antarctica, or a forest. Each group must choose a theme related to their chosen site and issues, exploring, inventing, and activating suitable spaces with a functional approach. Through research, clues, and regeneration, themes can encompass lifestyle, forgotten values, sustainability, nature rebuilding, technology, passion, and interests. Groups must investigate site-related issues and propose appropriate spatial programs. Students should identify and develop a narrative program for each activity space, including areas for eating, bathing, cleaning, cooking, etc. The programming board should showcase a minimum of 5 innovative spaces that cater to the target users' enjoyment.

THEME 1: DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

5 ISSUES

1.Excessive consumption

The consumerism and overconsumption of products may lead to the overproduction and waste of resources

2.Disposable culture and excessive domestic waste

The mass production and the rise of disposable products may lead to the excessive waste and garbage. For example, single-use plastic straws, plastic bags, polystyrene plates and more

3.Carrying capacity

The human activity and excessive waste may lead to the reduction in the carrying capacity of our planet. It could result in a significant waste incineration, landfilling and subsequent resource depletion, environmental degradation and compromised ecosystem health.

4.Pollution

The excessive waste and garbage may lead to disease, air pollution and environmental contamination It may result in the depletion of natural resources and contaminate the water and soil.

5.Climate Change

Waste incineration such as burning garbage and plastic will release toxic chemicals and may result in changes to the climate The emission of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and other pollutants may result in global warming.

We proposed to use the recycled, reused and salvaged materials where we took something that is no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. Using waste as a building material and finished product are more environmental friendly, economical and special than what it previously was.
