project3

Rationale In this project the location is in Maroubra junction pacific square. There have cafĂ© and small restaurants around square so my design also considers the people who waiting take away food and drink coffee. My public benches design plays with the combination of cubes. There have two stand cubs with handrail on the back, people could leaned against the cubs waiting for take away food. The three small cubs in the front is sitting area for people drink coffee and relax. The interesting part is two bigger cubs on the side. There have small benches in the bigger cubs. So if there have more people want to sit there they could rotate the benches out. The rotation axis interlocks benches together and prevents people steal it. There have social problem like people come to the place but they don’t interact. so I want to encourage a social interaction between people so that they can have the sense of community. The hiding benches are a part of interactive and attract people willing to play with it. Consider the safety problem I arranged these two hiding benches system on the side so it will not regard people use the area.

social issue:there have high number of people sudden death from heart disease, there also have many of them could alive if have medicin or intravenous injection in time. this medical box is designed for these people. if heart disease patient fell uncomfortable or pass out at street, every one could help them alive by give them medicin in time. in this medical box there have 4 space to place tablets and other side there have intravenous injection needle tubing and injection medicament. this some fact about people who have heart disease Number of noninstitutionalized adults with diagnosed heart disease: 27.1 million. Percent of noninstitutionalized adults with diagnosed heart disease: 11.8%. There are 250,000 to 450,000 sudden cardiac arrests each year in the United States. There are over 450,000 sudden cardiac arrests each year in China.

video reflection- who killed the electric car

This video stars at a solemn ceremony, which shows respect to the high technology and environmental friendly idea vehicle. The electric car was appearing in 1996 California. Last century, the electric car are much popular than gas car because electric car are much quieter smoother and easy to charge at home. Why the gas car developing so fast and occupy the whole vehicle market nowadays? Because gasoline was cheap at that period and the gas car have a faster speed. Nowadays the disadvantages of gas car are appeared. Every gallon of gas produces 19 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse gas mostly as we know is co2 bring out many environmental issue like climate change raise the temperature of atmosphere and huge amount of melting glacier cause waterflood the polluted air also case caused cancers and respiratory problems. This vedio focus on the destiny of EV1, which is a high technology electrical vehicle with high speed and designed with two-seater in 1990.The "Impact", at the Los Angeles Auto Show. That September, the California Air Resources Board mandated major-automaker sales of EVs, in phases starting in 1998. From 1996 to 1998 GM produced 1117 EV1s, 800 of which were made available through three-year leases. Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan and Toyota also produced limited numbers of EVs for California drivers. In 2003, upon the expiration of GM's EV1 leases, GM crushed them. The crushing has variously been attributed to 1) the auto industry's successful federal court challenge to California's zero-emissions vehicle mandate, 2) a federal regulation requiring GM to produce and maintain spare parts for the few thousands EV1s and 3) the success of the oil and auto industries' media campaign to reduce public acceptance of electric vehicles. The vedio also illustrate some other kind of vehicle like hydrogen vehicles, plug in hybrids and other environmental friendly technology use in vehicles like solar power. The vedio group also interviews many people about their thought and they give the feedback of their considerations as consumer. The vedio also discusses the reason of electric car death. There have many valuable experiences for us to consider into our design. Everything will consider the consumer need. As a designer we need show the responsibility of protect environment.
