ISCHOOL INITIATIVE

Mission to Mars

Project Date: January 2017 - July 2017 Escape the Bus is a design + build project of an immersive program designed for educational professional development, team building, and a skill development activity for teachers, administration, and students looking to transform education away from information to critical thinking and problem based learning.

It is the year 2030, the iSchool Initiative SpaceBus, Mission to Mars program has launched. It is the first opportunity to join the effort to colonize mars. Once you and your team joins the mission they are a part of the crew and begin on-mission training in outer space. It is important to learn quickly and adapt to your crew’s strength and weaknesses before the SpaceBus is threatened by unexpected flying asteroids!

GAME DESIGN

3D Designed + Printed

Game Operation

The Spacebus was designed around different stations, educational technology, trigger points, sound effects, and 3d printed engine parts.

Each Engine part was conceptualize and designed around rocket parts and theories of NASA and SpaceX. Each piece connects to one another and is mounted in a 3D printed Engine Capsule.

During the Escape the Bus Game, the Engine is destroyed in outer space and the “crew� members must find, fix and rebuild the engine parts throughout the bus. Some of the parts have to be 3D printed, recalculated, realigned, and unlocked. Once all the Engine parts are gathered it is assembled and the game is complete.

THESIS

Past Civilzation Collapse

According to studies, A civilization’s survival depends on the relationships between its trade and resource allies, its foreign relationships (enemies), its environmental impact, climate change and its socio-political adaptations.

By analyzing the failures of past civilizations we can make decisions today to repair and change our failing regional, community, and building network systems for resilience.

If the environment and climate are at risk, the relationship between trade allies may be disrupted due to a higher demand of imported resources. If this demand is not met, a possible sociopolitical response could lead to forming enemies.

RESILIENT DESIGN

Resilience is the capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain or regain functionality and vitality in the face of stress or disturbance.

It is the capacity to bounce back after a disturbance or interruption of some sort (Wilson 2015).

PRINCIPALS FOR DESIGN

Participation in decision making maintained as a legal requirement following the National Environmental Policy Act

global sustainability efforts must be established and regulated by a global council

Replace the negativism in environmentalism with positive incentives

competition must be incorporated into foreign relationships at a friendly and healthy level. This requires community level participation to create a human vs. human interaction

taxes and regulation to fund scientific research and application to regenerative systems No hierarchical organizational structures Equal information expands into a large social order to help make decisions Removing roadblocks for local businesses Creating user fees and performance bonds Local level of decision making in global issues shared information for development of projects incorporating regenerative design and sustainable building practices to maintain minimum building standards

policy making

cooperation must be established every year between governments & communities collaboration and research must be deployed at all levels of research.

Yearly conferences and publications must be made for the discipline

trade must be regulated and controlled to reduce consumption and waste trade will move more towards a bartering system between countries based upon the necessities for survival information and virtual realities will replace the monotonous need for manufactured goods higher taxes will be placed on objects depending upon the location and distance traveled tax incentives will be given to local markets and products

well regulated policies must be analyzed yearly for debate

regenerative systems to create multiple solutions for particular tasks using interactions among species and elements to benefit the entire system energy system flows in a cycle system maintaining a level of regeneration.

shift into to low-entropic societies that effectively using different energy along the pathway of dissipative flow

public planning institutions will have to be created in order regulated local level growth while also participating in global growth issues

lightweight, and low energy transportation methods must be deployed at all scales, regional, community and local levels

developers and builders must hire supervisory agencies must require oversee developers and builders work environment to require a broader scope of work in order to encompass ecological design and resource conserving

the sun provides enough energy to replace fossil fuels, humans must continue to develop technology to develop sun energy at more efficient rates

resource control must be implemented at a global, national and local level

War must be decided upon by a participatory population vote

diversity and stability must be maintained in ecological systems 50% of the land must be returned to nature

decentralized power

resource reuse

an immediate reduction of C02 emissions is needed to slow down human contribution to climate change

deploying smaller scales of energy systems to communities with major power plants as backup generators passive solar designs for low energy building designs incorporating tree cover in high pave areas to reduce heat island effect planting certain species of plants for maintain pollution control

THESIS PROPOSAL

This thesis set out to answer the following: how would a civilization recover from a major societal collapse? What stragetgies could be used to information how a civilation restructures and rebuilds? These questions were addressed by using Resilient Design Principles analyized at different levels of scale to inform a set of design methods for reconfiguring transportation, density, food, ecology, zoning, and building materials networks.

RECYCLING TOWER

At the Water Tower site, the wet land and the path infrastructure become integrated with the land. This site becomes a vital source for a public water drinking spot.

The Play Tower, located near an elementary and middle school creates a learn + play environment where classes can be held outside and with collaboration with the local University System for outdoor labs and mixed learning environments.

The Recycling Tower is an open recycling center that brings in the local building materials, plastics, glass, and metals to be reused.

The idea for the pavilion began with the interaction between earth and sky, landscape vs. cloud.

The landscape would be heavy, showing movement, while the cloud would float above giving an atmospheric experience.

The interaction between these two concepts would connect at certain points to form a space to bring people through the pavilion and on to their destination.
