Rapid Prototyping MDD Students “Emerging Ecologies”
Student Projects
Working in four teams, 16 students of the AUAS – Master Digital Design, worked on a design brief for Huis van de Toekomst with the topic “Human Powered House of the Future”, as part of the Emerging Ecologies playground.
They were asked to contribute to the development of the ‘human-powered community’ in the J.J.P. Oud block where Huis van de Toekomst is located in two ways: first by visualising and thus making more tangible how fully functioning spaces in the block can operate with human-power, and second by elaborating on a new value system to represent the functioning of this new kind of energy community, based on the values consolidated during the design workshop: time, money, community and personal growth. The students presented their work-in-progress during the second workshop in Huis van de Toekomst on April 24-25 and the MDD Feedback Feast on May 17. Their results were shown at the graduation show Exposjoo 2024 on July 3.
