Statement of Enquiry: We must think of affordable, sustainable and innovative solutions to adapt to the needs of growing urban populations.
In this outstanding, creative scheme of work, students are given a brief to design and make a scale model of a micro-house, the size of a shipping container to help solve the housing crisis in dense-urban areas.
- With practical, written and theory work closely related to the IB philosophy and 4 Design objective strands.
- Project applies a practical understanding of factual, conceptual and debatable questions.
- The scheme is a full term (12 - 20 week) project though could be condensed or even further extended if necessary.
- Students can work within the full digital project portfolio provided or in sketchbooks.
- Components can be laser cut or by hand so the scheme is adaptable for different school set-ups.
- Final model has been made out of foamcore but other materials could be substituted e.g. cardboard, acrylic or MDF.
- IB Unit plan included.
- Student and teacher examples included.
–
Lessons include in order:
♦ Introduction to the problem. What is a housing crisis?
♦ Data. Factors and trends. What has led to this crisis?
♦ User Research. Why design around the needs of a user?
♦ Product Analysis. How do we really understand a product?
♦Technical drawing (Orthographic)
♦CAD- SketchUp (Sketch). How can we prototype without any materials?
♦Optional CAD & CAM- 2D Design & Laser Cutting
♦Ergonomics & Anthropometrics Theory
♦Final prototyping
♦Criteria D Summative Contextual Assessment Task - How could we market and sell our design (estate agent task)?
This unit/project is designed for a term (12-14 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly.

IB MYP Design Units Bundle
MYP Units Bundle which covers each year group for the MYP 1 - 5 Design curriculum, representing a significant saving over buying units individually. In these outstanding, creative units, students are tasked with designing and making solutions in line with specific client-led briefs. With practical, written, and theory work closely related to the new MYP Design Specification and four assessment criteria. These units/projects have been designed for a term (12-14 weeks) or half-term (6-8 weeks) though each can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly. Included is a unit planner that maps each project to units of inquiry (IB), sustainable development goals (UN), ATL skills (IB), and inner development goals (IDGs). Each project covers the entire iterative (non-linear) design process as well as relatable theory. The units are flexible and can be adapted to be taught throughout MY1 to MY5. The recommended MY year group can be found below. Units include: * Graphic Design Unit - Personified Typography (various briefs) (MY1). * Product Design Unit - Phone Stand Product (MY2 or 3). * Architecture Unit - Introduction to Architecture. Worlds’ Leading Architects and Their Creative Processes (MY2 or 3). * Product Design Unit - LEDC Solar Light. (MY4 or 5). * Architecture Unit - Microhouse. (MY4 or 5). --- For more information about each unit please click on each relevant individual resource.
