OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this 11AOF assessment are to incorporate architecture & digital technology to develop a digital media outcome for the purpose of showcasing an architecture design suitable for the 'end user' being an animal of your choice.
Below are the assessment key words & definitions you need to consider for your Animal Pavilion project nzqa.govt.nz/ncea-as91880.pdf
-Develop: Develop a design for an animal of your choice. Consider, places, spaces & culture when developing your design ideas.
-Digital media: As described above.
-Outcome: Your final Animal Pavilion design & the documents that showcase your project development.
-Use design elements: Colour, shape, space, form, texture, geometry, proportion materials - create an inspiration board.
-Design for purpose & end users: An architecture for your chosen animal.
-Apply data integrity: Google Drive - file & data management of the content you create digital.school.nz/project-information.
-Testing procedures: Self review, friend review & learning leader feedback to improve your project by testing your ideas with others.
-Describing relevant implications: Write about Cultural, Aesthetics, End-user considerations of your project.
-Iterative improvement throughout design/development/testing process: How you evolve your design from first to final concept.
-Applying design elements effectively: Your key words, drawings, physical model & inspiration board are the 'design elements'

CONTEXT - CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change & pollution are affecting Earth, how does this affect animals?
Some animals are effected by climate change, some are not. Is the animal you have chosen to design a pavilion for effected by climate change? How can your architecture design help animals cope with the effects of climate change?
Environmental activists like Greta Thunberg & Extincion Rebellion are campaigning to make the world a better place.
The worlds richest man has just donated $10 Billion dollars to fight climate change
The United Nations says that ”Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment.
From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale.
Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly”.

MERIT
*Using information from testing procedures to improve the quality & functionality of the outcome
*Addressing relevant implications
1. Go into greater detail about how you used testing procedures to improve the quality & functionality of your animal pavilion.
For example: You can use images of your drawings compared to screenshot images of your 3D modeling to show improvement.
For example: How do the key features of your design relate to an era of architecture you researched at the start of the project?
For example: Get more than one person to give you feedback throughout your project, keep detailed feedback notes & describe how you improved the 'quality & functionality' of your animal pavilion design based on the feedback by others.
2. For an Achieved grade you need to 'describe' relevant implications, for a Merit grade you need to 'address' relevant implications. Addressing relevant implications is explaining in greater detail how you think about Cultural, Aesthetics & End-user considerations.
For example: Use images to explain how you considered 'culture' & write how this informed your design - refer SnakeTower 1.5 Culture

EXCELLENCE
*Iterative improvement throughout the design, development & testing process
*Applying design elements effectively
1. 'Iterative improvement' is a design method based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, refining, testing & feedback by others throughout the design process. "Iteration" of a design occurs when changes & refinements are made throughout this process.
This process is intended to ultimately improve the quality & functionality of a design.
For Excellence in this assessment you need to document "iterative improvement" of the design of your Animal Pavilion.
This is NZQA's description of "iterative improvement". www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/subjects/digital-technologies/clarifications/level-1/iterative
For Excellence in 91880, iterative improvement requires that the learner develop a functional outcome using documented cycles of improvement. This may include adding features to the outcome. This needs to be shown through deliberate cycles of improvement based on testing and trialling rather than just incremental development. Iterative improvement is more than just debugging or correcting errors in a non-functioning outcome. It is expected that students will produce a functioning outcome for an Achieved grade. Iterative improvement should be aimed at making a better product. This evidence needs to be provided for moderation. Students may be able to provide sufficient evidence of the development of the outcome using, for example, annotated screenshots, ‘commit’ messages, commenting within the source files of the outcome. They may not need to submit all the previous versions of the outcome.
2. 'Applying design elements effectively' is justifying your animal pavilion design. You can refer to the 10 architecture inspiration research document research you did, how did these architecture projects influence your design? Elements of your design are the various parts of your design that make up your overall design. For example: if your pavilion design includes a stained glass window that inspired you from the Classical or Gothic architectural design era then you can justify your design based on church stained windows.

DIGITAL MEDIA PROJECT EXAMPLE
Develop your project with drawings, models & visuals to showcase your Animal Pavilion design.
Do drawings of your animal, do drawings to understand the site your designing your project on, what is the culture of your project, what is the brief for your project, are you designing to a Architectural Design Era, what are the key words for your design inspiration, create a 'design inspiration board', what is your inspiration for 'idea generation', visualise your project by doing drawings, make a physical models of your idea, 3D model your design using Sketchup, Minecraft or Tinkercad, create concept images of your design by using Photoshop or Pixlr. Use all this digital media you create to showcase your Animal Pavilion concept.
