Installation 3 - A Reality Mash-Up - Short Brief

For this assignment you will need to bring the skills that you have developed over the last two weeks into polished final Design Presentation. Aiming to utilise technologies from Photogrammetric Reconstructions to Augmented Reality you will deliver an Architectural Installation that explores a design development in context to future design presentation methods.

The main idea of this assignment will be to “Mash-Up” a range of physical and digital processes into an Architectural Intervention Installation for display at the final exhibition.

As an idea of what may be possible, we are proposing a Photogrammetry/Augmented Reality Mash-Up that utilises all of the skills you have developed in this course so far.

In this “standard” project, we expect you to choose an architecture of interest, photogrametrically reconstruct the architecture (using modelling skills to help to refine your model to the most efficient printing arrangement), alter the model as suits your purposes and get a 3D print of your model. Using that as a basis for your project you will then go through the design process, “designing” your Architectural Intervention on your chosen architecture, and developing a range of iterative design possibilities that can be tested against your 3D printed model using Augmented Reality.

It is expected that you will spend between 30 to 50 hours working on this final Assignment over the next 2 weeks.

This is just the “standard” approach that you may take to your final Assignment. Your other option is to write a proposal of what you would like to achieve.

Your proposal must be a minimum of 250 words long. In addition to a 250 word description you will need to provide us with assessment criteria on what aspect of the technology you will be concentrating on as well as outcomes that you expect to be able to achieve with your project (what you will be producing). You will have to thin kabout how your project can be displayed in an exhibition setting.
