Criterion A: Inquiry and Analysis
A man named Rex Tillerson came up to me saying he wants to build a beach house in New Orleans
because his old beach house in Florida exploded. He started to list the things he wanted Hurricane
sustainable foundation, 2 story house filled with glass windows that are sound proof, I also want this
house to be multi purpose. When it would be done he would be super duped happy because then he
can leave the chaos in Dallas.
Research needed
Isometric: Is a way to
draw a 3D image
Priority
1
3D Sketch Up: Is a
2
software that is used
to make the 3D image
to print in a 3D way
Orthographic: Is a
way to make 3 views
in 2D form.
3
Plan view: is really
just a bird’s eye view
like taking of the roof
of a house or another
object.

Justification
It is important
because when you
make your 3D sketch
up you will need to
know how to make a
3D image.
This I important as
well because it is used
to put your drawing in
a computer to print
and make better

Primary
Secondary
Orthographic is not as
important because is a http://www.technologystudent.com Secondary
longer and more
complicated to get
correct then the
others.
This is the least
http://www.technologystudent.com Secondary
important because for
3D you need it to be in
3D but here you you
have a 2D image from
above
Isometric
Isometric is 3D drawing that can help you for normal
drawing but will make it 3D. Isometric drawing is
used for drawing 3D images for blueprints and
product design. What you need to do is draw a crow’s
foot. Then you need to draw the lines to make the 3D
effect by drawing all the lines in parallel line if you
don’t it will look weird. Isometric drawing is good
because when you use it for a blueprint then you can
see different angles of the structure. It is also good for
showing detail around the whole object not just the
2D perspective and you get a better feeling of how big
or long or wide the object is. It is bad because it is
pretty difficult to understand the drawing and take
time to draw it. It is also bad because sometime when
you draw the object you might draw a perspective you
didn’t want to draw then it looks weird. I like it because you can see different perspectives on the drawing. I also like it because I can
draw thing I could never do without it because you can use it a guide for your drawing. I dislike it because it is difficult to draw and
understand, because sometime you draw a side that you don’t want to draw. Isometric I feel has no way of getting the perspective
you want so that is also one way it is bad

Orthographic
Orthographic drawing is a three-dimensional
object in two dimensions. It is used for car
designers to get different views of the car. If you
were to use it you would need to first split the page
into 4 parts and draw a 45-degree line on the
bottom right part. After that you’d want to draw one
perspective you want to star with in the top right
corner box (you would want to first draw the side
view). Then you would want to draw all the line
that goes vertical in the box that is below. Then
you want to draw the horizontal lines that you just
drew horizontally and when they touch the
diagonal you want to draw the line vertically after
that you want to draw the horizontal line
horizontally that was in the first box. Orthographic
is good because you know what you are going to
draw and it is good for getting the different
perspectives you need. It is bad because you need to be really precise with the line and measurements if not you will get a weird
looking image. I like it because I can understand it very well and I get a good sense of how the image looks. I dislike it because it is
fairly complicated drawing because you can get some things wrong and then you will have problems with your drawing.

Plan View
Plan view is a view of an object as
projected onto a horizontal plane. Plan
view is used for building because you
can see the top view or “birds eye view”
of a building car or something else. To
do it you can get the out side of a
building in the plan view the draw in the
walls or you can just ask the people who
made your house to get the plan view
form them. It is good because you get
the “overview” of the house. It is also
good because If you need to find your
way around the house. It is bad because
you only get the plan view not the other
views so you can’t see. I like it because
I can see a view I would not normally
see because I am not a bird. I dislike it
because I can’t see other views of the
object.

3D Sketch Up
3D sketch up design is a program used to make 3D images like house, cars and planes. To use it you need to
download it and find out how to use it (I don’t know how) It is good because you can make objects and play around
how to use it to figure out what is cool. It is also good because you can make many things. It is bad because it is
complicated and difficult to understand so far from my understandings from looking at a friend. I like it because
there is so much to do when you understand it. I dislike it because it takes a long time to understand (I really hope
not).

I have learned a lot for this unit. I learned that there is a lot of ways to draw things not just the simple 2D way. I learned things like
isometric, orthographic, plan view and 3D sketch up. I learned that isometric is a 3d perspective and that it is used for building and
manufacturing. Orthographic are 3 drawings with different perfectives and that they are the sides that you can find in 3D drawing. I’ve
learned that in plan view is just really a birds eye view and 3D sketch up design is a software not a tequnique to draw, it is important
because then you can get that image that you made into 3D printer for example. That is really want I learned from that and the most
thing I learned was the 3D sketch up design.

Criterion B: Developing Ideas
By: Thomas Gjervik
FORM
(SHAPE, SIZE,
DIMENSIONS,
WEIGHT ETC)
FUNCTION
(HOW IT WORKS OR
IS CONSTRUCTED)
SPECIFICATIONS
JUSTIFICATION
(WRITE AS A SENTENCE)
(WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT)
THE TOTAL FLOOR AREA FOR THE
HOUSE WILL NOT EXCEED 1000M2
The floor area for the house will not
exceed 2000m2.
THE SITE WHERE THE HOUSE WILL BE
LOCATED HAS A LIMITED SPACE, AND
THEREFORE THE HOUSE DIMENSIONS
CANNOT EXCEED THIS SIZE.
The house is located in a neighborhood so will
have little room for error when building the
house.
TESTING METHOD
(HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
KNOW YOU WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL?)
THE TOTAL FLOOR AREA OF
THE FINAL DESIGN CAN BE
CALCULATED AND TESTED
AGAINST THIS SPECIFICATION
To prevent for exceeding the area
limit that the house has I would
need to be built perfectly.
The house will not exceed 1 floor.
The neighborhood where the house is going to
be located allows only 1 story house for
ecological reasons.
The house will not be built over the
1 story.
The house will be a rectangle shape.
The house will have to be in a rectangle shape
because the neighborhood has specifications to
be symmetrical around the whole compound.
The house will fit in the space that
has been bought to fit the rectangle
shape space.
THE HOUSE WILL BE PARTLY HEATED
ON THE GROUND FLOOR BY USING A
SOLAR “HEAT SINK” LOCATED IN THE
GARDEN.
A HEAT SINK IS A RELIABLE AND COST
EFFECTIVE METHOD OF HEATING A
HOUSE, AND REDUCES THE HOUSES
RELIANCE ON EXTERNAL “SERVICES” AND
REDUCES ITS ECOLOGICAL IMPACT.
The solar panels will help the environment and
will not get power outages because it is directly
connected to the house.
THIS WILL BE REPRESENTED
AND PROPERLY ANNOTATED IN
THE FINAL DESIGN.
The house will be power by solar panels
covering the roof.
I will represent this method
properly in my design.
AESTHETICS
(WHAT IT LOOKS
LIKE, COLOUR,
MATERIALS,
TEXTURE ETC)
The house will be heated by solar water
heating which will also be on the roof.
The solar water heating is a good way to heat
the house because it is close to the house and
will get the maximum heat that it will give.
I will represent this method
properly in my design.
The house will be light up by the LED
light that are powered by the solar panels.
The LED light are my option for the house
because it is cost efficient and are versatile and
helping the environment by using less energy.
I will represent this method
properly in my design.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE WILL
BE DECORATED ON THE OUTSIDE TO
BE SYMPATHETIC TO ITS
SURROUNDINGS, AND USE AS
VERITY OF NATURAL MATERIALS IN
ITS CONSTRUCTION.
Outside of the house will have a water
feature on the outside as well a little on
the inside.
THIS WILL MINIMISE ITS IMPACT ON THE
LOCAL ENVIRONMENT, AND WHEREVER
POSSIBLE LOCALLY SOURCED BUILDING
MATERIALS WILL BE USED TO INCREASE
THE BUILDINGS ECOLOGICAL AND
SUSTAINABLE FOOTPRINT.
This will help the houses apparel to people to
buy the house so when I sell it I will get the
dough.
THE TYPE AND SOURCE
LOCATION WILL BE ANNOTATED
ON THE FINAL DESIGN.
The main color inside will have dark
colors like brown. On the outside I will be
grey.
The colors used will absorb it so the solar
panels and water heating will get more sun.
I can teat this by putting it in the
sun.
The man material will be clay because it
is a good insulator.
The material will cut down the use of cooling
and heating because the cool or heat will not
escape.
This will show when it has a heat or
cooling in it.
I will show it by putting water in it
and will go around and around.
I chose my house A because I felt it was really what I wanted and what I thought looked the best out of the three. I used all of my specifications
that I have.
The floor area for the house will not exceed
2000m2.
The house will not exceed 1 floor.
The house will be a rectangle shape.
The house will be power by solar panels covering
the roof.
The house will be heated by solar water heating
which will also be on the roof.
The house will be light up by the LED light that are
powered by the solar panels.
Outside of the house will have a water feature on
the outside as well a little on the inside.
The main color inside will have dark colors like
brown. On the outside I will be grey.
The man material will be clay because it is a good
insulator.
I put an X because it is not in a rectangle
shape it is in an octagon shape.
Solar Panels
Solar panels are eco-friendly because they use the rays from the sun to power your home. It works by the Rays from the sun to boil a large
tank full of water to then make that water steam then power a generator to then make electricity. Solar
panels are good because it is renewable, abundant, and sustainable, Environmentally Friendly, Good
Availability, Reduces Electricity Costs, Many Applications, Shared Solar Silent Financial Support from
Government/State Low Maintenance and Technology is Improving. It is bad because it is Expensive,
Intermittent; Energy Storage is Expensive, Associated with Pollution, Exotic Materials, and Requires
Space

Straw-bale construction
Straw bale construction is a building method that uses bales of straw as structural elements,
building insulation, or both. This construction method is commonly used in natural building or
“brown” construction projects. Research has shown that straw-bale construction is a
sustainable method for building, from the standpoint of both materials energy needed for
heating and cooling. Advantages of straw-bale construction over conventional building
systems include the renewable nature of straw, cost, easy availability, and naturally fireretardant and high insulation value. Disadvantages include susceptibility to rot, difficulty of
obtaining insurance coverage, and high space requirements for the straw itself.
Energy efficient light bulbs
Energy efficient light bulbs are light bulbs that use LED or CFL bulbs revolutionized energy-efficient lighting. CFLs are simply
miniature versions of full-sized fluorescents. They screw into standard lamp sockets, and give off light that looks similar to the
common incandescent bulbs - not like the fluorescent lighting we associate with factories and schools. LEDs are small, very
efficient solid bulbs. New LED bulbs are grouped in clusters with diffuser lenses, which have broadened the applications for LED
use in the home. LED technology is advancing rapidly, with many new bulb styles available. Initially more expensive than CFLs,
LEDs bring more value since they last longer. Also, the price of LED bulbs is going down each year as the manufacturing
technology continues to improve. LED light bulbs are long lasting, durable, cool, mercury free, more efficient, cost efficient, light for
remote areas and portable generators. Led light bulbs are cost to install but after is then cheaper.

Solar water heating
Solar water heating (SWH) is the conversion of sunlight into renewable energy for water heating using a solar thermal collector.
Pros is it uses the free energy of the sun to heat your water, lower monthly electric (or gas) utility bills, Great for climates that
receive a lot of sunshine and Federal tax credits help lower upfront cost, and there are often local incentives that also help offset
part of the initial investment
Cons are Tank takes up more space than tankless units, but comparable to (or slightly larger than) "normal" tank type units, Higher
up front cost for equipment & installation, May not have as great of performance in climates that do not receive a lot of sunshine,
Tank can produce a significant amount of heat, so its location will need to be planned accordingly, More equipment = more
maintenance.

Recycling bin
Recycling is a process to convert waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the
consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land
filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic
production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and
Recycle" waste hierarchy. Pro for recycling are protects environment, reduces energy consumption, reduces pollution, reduces
global warming, conserves natural resources, create green jobs. Cons for recycling are not are always cost efficient and high initial
cost.
