Alternative energy
Several years ago,
I had a chance to do a green design project in my product design class. By
researching and learning about green design, I realized that this is what I
want to pursue as a product designer in the future. For the final design
concept, I came up with a solar powered public bus station. The purpose of it
was to save energy and create eco-friendly community. The floor of this bus
station was made out of wasted tires to give comfort on legs while waiting for
buses. I came up with this solution to recycle wasted tires. The solar powered
touch screen monitor shows the time, schedule, destination, routes and etc.
The common types
of alternative energy are...
- Solar energy
- Wind energy
- Geothermal energy
- Biofuel and ethanol
- Nuclear binding energy
- Hydrogen
Green architecture
Green
architecture, or sustainable architecture is a rising star everywhere. Many
countries are currently investing on green building & energy saving
projects. The goal of green architecture is to use less energy, less materials,
less space, and etc. Green building makes heating, ventilation and cooling
system efficient and is a field to look up to for the greener future.
Raefer Wallis, an
architect, talks about the green architecture that regenerates in this TED
video.
