Bird Hide Aims

This project involves designing a small bird hide on an existing platform in the wetland area at Banrock Station. The intention of this project is to introduce you to the issues surrounding design projects. Within the context of this game you should achieve the following.
  • Design one contextually appropriate bird hide for the wetland at Banrock Station.
  • Explore concepts of voyeurism, observation and framing, as they relate to experiential design.
  • Consider the comfort requirements of a target market of wetland visitors during visits of up to 2hrs.
  • Develop skills in brief preparation using primary sources.
  • Critically analyse an existing structure and follow this analysis with creative action by referring to your brief and your design requirements.
