 A1 - Explain and justify the need for a solution
PROBLEM (word count:- /200)

The problem is that usable land in Hong Kong is hard to come by, leading land and house prices
to skyrocket, making many people unable to live in acceptable living conditions or unable to have
their own personal space.

SOLUTION (word count:- /50)

We could create more spaces where people have more space or have better sound dividers so
that people can feel that they have their own personal space.

A4 - Develop a Design Brief

Summary of Research - Connections to pieces of research

The need The problem is that usable land in Hong Kong is hard to come by, leading land
and house prices to skyrocket, making many people unable to live in
acceptable living conditions or unable to have their own personal space.

The client Elderly People, 70+ years old, requires easy access to temples and shops
and the wet market, close to hospital, may have mobility issues, short
distance walking

The processes I will design a 3d model of a building for the community of my choice, I
will check it’s stability and how it fulfills my clients needs, lastly, I will
3d print it.

The Solution We could create some spaces where it is soundproof inside so people are
able to have their own privacy while being in a small space, with adequate
space to be able to not only sleep there.

Constraints I know very little about architecture therefore I may not be able to
create a good looking building without defying a few laws of gravity
and making Newton jump out of his grave.

INSERT A SCAN OF YOUR CHOSEN DESIGN.

JUSTIFY YOUR CHOSEN DESIGN. (word count:- /200)

My design is a hospital that caters to the needs of older citizens and
can also be aesthetically pleasing, leading to people liking it more than
the gigantic white building block with a red cross at the top. My design
also retains the more iconic parts of the original design, including the
red cross, with some Pokemon aspects, and many big glass windows
dyed with stained glass to give the hospital a more lively and colorful
vibe. There are also many trees outside assorted with fruits from
Pokemon to suggest that these fruits are used for healing, to give the
hospital a more green vibe, and to bring patients into nature, for them
to have a more relaxed vibe so that they can heal faster. Big glass
panes in the hospital can also help patients who may not be able to
move around or see the outside world in normal circumstances be able
to see a lot of greenery outside, which would help them heal faster
because they are more relaxed and would help them increase their
moods, which could also decrease the number of deaths in a hospital.

Impact of the Product on the Client.

Show 4 key features with photos of your product from B3 or B4 and outline how
they benefit the client

How does the building improve your clients life

My client is a senior citizen, and may need to use the hospital more often. This
design benefits them because it is so easy to see, so seniors will not get lost
looking for it. The futuristic design also would attract the younger population, so
the seniors would have people to accompany them.

Read A1 again. How well did your building solve the problem? Explain why using
supporting evidence

My building solved the problem well, because it is a hospital, and seniors have to
use the hospital more than the average 30 year old, so making it big means it
could accomodate more people.
