Assignment Details#

Part 1: Model and Build the prototype

  • Describe and design how priorities shift (if at all) between the terrestrial building (A2-A3) and the space station deployment for your system

  • Design and model your space within the prototype to demonstrate the key stages and features identified in your A3 preliminary design

  • Create a drawing or diagram showing the spatial connections, interfaces, and interactions between your system and at least two other group systems within the space station

  • Integrate your physical prototype into the shared hyper space tent installation, ensuring it connects and interacts logically with systems designed by other groups, describing how you have done so

  • Document how your system adapts to the unique constraints and opportunities of the low orbit space station environment.

  • Describe your model, your space, and your systems within it

Part 2: Draw the Growth table of your space (eg, living room, control room) based on your system (eg, roof)

  • Draw the Growth table ( stages, functions, features, etc)

  • Describe the functional and spatial requirements at each stage

  • Document the dependencies on other systems, their growth stages and how that connects

  • Consider how these elements can be apply to a ‘real building’ back on earth
