    D6 COURSE ASSIGNMENT

    20.07.2012

    SELECT TEAMS & CHOOSE RESEARCH TOPICS


    SELECT TEAMS Please organize yourselves into groups of three. You have received an email to your University account, please fill in the form and return it by email to both Camia and Jordon.

    CHOOSE RESEARCH TOPIC Once in your teams choose a topic to research. This topic will be the common topic for your team throughout the duration of this course. Regarding the choice of topic, it is important that each team chooses a different topic to research and you do not choose topics that were researched last term (Wind, Timber, Concrete, Textiles). Your choice needs to be a resource available in New Zealand, and ideally Christchurch. Examples could be: stone, clay, metals (steel, other?), minerals (choose a specific one in the Canterbury region), sun, water or another topic of your choice. The aim of this first week is to become experts in each of your topics. You will do this first by collecting information, but you must go beyond simply collecting facts and figures to discover potentials. It is important that on Friday you decide what aspect you will research within your topic, it is not about documenting EVERYTHING about your chosen material/resource, but rather you need to focus your research into an aspect that can lend to a formal investigation. Please coordinate within your team and choose different aspects to investigate so that your research does not overlap but instead comes together to create a body of supporting research. Examples of relevant focuses could be: - Mapping where the resource can be found; - Diagramming quantities relative to location; - Diagramming transport routes relative to production time line; - Quantifying energy use and waste production; - Assessing required investment for output; - Cataloguing possible uses relative to material life span; - Diagraming the life span of the resource (from where it is found to where it is used) - other diagrams or maps? We encourage you to think creatively and critically about what you discover and bring your own ideas to the work. For Monday please bring diagrams/maps for discussion and development. For references look at the past investigations done in previous courses: http://futurechristchurch.wordpress.com/category/course-work/invstigations/ And at the FUTURE CHRISTCHURCH book in the Architecture Library.
