studying one subject a lot at university, finding something new, and becoming a doctor of that subject

someone who designs buildings that are sustainable

using resources wisely so that they do not run out

a house that is designed to be sustainable

Ken Yeang and sustainable architecture

Design and technology

The TinkerCAD user interface

Modify 3D shapes

Compound 3D shapes

Complex 3D shapes

Manipulating 3D shapes

Critique 3D eco-houses

Exploded diagrams in CAD

This unit introduces 3D Computer Aided Design to pupils.  They will investigate modern architects to understand the techniques and materials they use in sustainable housing.  They will develop knowledge of TinkerCAD to design and present a model sustainable house.

CAD structures: architecture

an online computer aided design application

area where objects are created and edited

sliding or moving a shape without rotating or reflecting it

a point on a 3D object that can be grabbed to move or resize it

3D shapes used in Tinkercad to create holes

a tool used to combine shapes into a single shape

shapes made of many different shapes, including combining compound shapes

special parts of an object that makes it interesting or useful

a collection of shapes you can use to build and design 3D models

a drawing showing how separate components fit together

viewing 3D objects in 2D, where objects look smaller as they get further away

viewing 3D objects in 2D to scale, showing each side of a design without perspective
