11. Why I chose this design
For my building which is the Discovery Centre in Wentworth Point. I have
discussed with my group that we would all have a white door as is
symbolizes sophistication, a water tank and a solar panel. We also share the
same wood on the out side of the house. My building is a environmentally
friendly and it can also access healthier resources. My building also has a
lost of natural lighting and air ventilation, instead on having to turn on the
lights and instead of having to put the air conditioning on you have natural
air flowing through ,this decreases the use electricity. The discovery centre
has a lot of information on how we can keep our town clean and eco
friendly. It also has a lot of trees and greenery to calm the mind. The
discovery centre has a lot about the history and how much it has changed
over the years.
I have chosen this for my design for my building has it has plenty of outside
area for the community, and to enjoy has many resources as possible. For
example a lot of people live in apartments so there's not much air
ventilation so we give them help by saying to open there windows and
have natural sunlight in there homes so they don’t use has much electricity
has they normally would. I have also made this building so that it is
sustainable and that in the future it would benefit the community.
