Solar Mildura

This semester, I have been allocated into the Mildura - Solar Irrigation City Design Studio. Initially I wasn't really keen to take this subject, especially I do not have much interest into solar architecture and hardly know anything except solar panels.

Mildura - Solar Irrigation City Design Studio Brief

However, the more I was involve since week 1 in terms of it's design scope and brief; I start to fall in love with it instead. It starts to drive my passion of challenging and to look up for precedents. Amazingly I found very interesting and emerging solar eco technologies.

Inspiration from Contour Farm

Although it is still not very common in residential Australia, but the huge massive solar farm development happening in China, Japan and Barcelona surprises me. It goes to show how much effort are you willing to spend to take up the challenge. Over the last weekend, I went down to Mildura and had a great site experiential. It's an awesome quiet and peaceful place. I am sure there are plenty of opportunities that Mildura could grow. I am kind of really excited and hope to go there again, but definitely not with a bicycle which has flat out tyre.

3d Conceptual Idea

Here is one of my conceptual idea of 3D. It's still just in experimental stage with the combination of 3 solar systems collector. I'll see what my tutor comments on Tuesday's presentation. Again, wish me luck.

The Proposed with 3 types of Solar system used

PS: It's last day of JULY !!!!!!! I am feeling great~ I am very sure the Month July of Shit will all ends and everything will soon fall in place.
