Project 1-RARE architecture

For Project 1-RARE we are to design a Relocatable, Adaptive, Renewable and Environmental classroom as a new solution for the mod-5 classrooms currently available, and to the regret of the design world, overused.
We are very excited to pursue such a project, it will be good to apply what we have learnt previously in environmental studies. In the modern age we need to begin to focus on environmental architecture, whilst not letting it hinder our design work in order to compensate for them. Ideally they w

Our research thus far has been into different materials that can be used, and the best ways for 'relocating' a structure, whilst being able to have operate environmentally.
My previous post shows the discovery of 'sprung roofing' which could be a good way have relocatable roofing. Although we are still concerned on how to use this environmentally, for example, the used of solar panels on it? Ways of operating passive heating/cooling with it? These are questions we need to explore before we decide to use it in the final design.

I will upload a separate blog going into some of the research explored to this point...
