Modular Building

Overview

Role: UX research, website development

Tools: Maya, HTML/CSS/JS

Design Challenge: How can we use a limited amount of space efficiently in order to fulfill all the needs of a smart city, without causing traffic and congestion during its construction?

Our approach: Using a new building technique that is more efficient and sustainably conscious in order to revolutionize and change the way users see traditional city plans.

For this project, I worked in a group with three other members. The project was started in January of 2020, and although we had planned to build models of the units and how they would interact with each other, the pandemic forced us to abandon the physical prototypes in exchange for a

Persona & Journey map:

Our persona is an 18 year old student who is new to the area as she has just started school. She is anxious about her unfamiliar setting, making friends at a new school and waiting alone for long periods of time at the transit stop by herself. The bus to her suburban neighbourhood comes infrequently, and she finds herself waiting 10-15 minutes for a bus to arrive.

Lisa could use SHLTR to communicate with other students in the area who may be interested in waiting at the stop with her.
