1) The document discusses a student project using Arduino to create a prototype that incorporates the concept of desire lines.
2) Desire lines are paths formed by human and animal footfall that typically represent the shortest or most easily navigated route.
3) The project aims to raise awareness of desire lines by placing sensors along prominent paths and using code and animation to show the results of prohibiting their use.
2. TASK
Split into groups
Using Arduino, design and Build Basic
working prototype
Incorporate a concept from the DAT 301
Realtime Module
3. CONCEPT
After initial discussion and ideas we
arrived at a concept of Eco Friendliness
That concept changed after research into
desire lines
Lines that are developed over time by
human and animal footfall. They typically
represent the shortest or most easily
navigated route from one point to another.
4. Inspiration
Gaston Bachelard
Dedicated to the study of the poetry and
philosophy of science, Bachelards 1958 book
The Poetics of Space looks not at the origins
or technicalities of architecture, but how the
lived-in and human experience of architecture
affects and shapes its development.
6. Project Overview
The aim was to make people aware of Desire
Lines
Using Arduino place sensors around
prominent existing Desire paths
Using Code and animation show the results of
prohibiting the use of Desire lines/Paths
