Abstract

It is the first time ever, the integration of design studio and design laboratory final year project have been made. The intention was to enable students to be more focused on their projects and also to ensure that the quality of the design output and the prototype fabrication could be optimized. The Green Design had become the theme that was being emphasized by the final year students during the Semester 2010/2011. Green Design is about designing a physical object that would comply with the principles of economic, social, environmental and ecological sustainability. During the initial stage, students were encouraged to dynamically explore and study the epistemology of the selected issues. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that by the end of the final year degree project, students will be able to produce a product design that could be proposed as a solution to eliminate negative environmental impact completely through a skilful and sensitive design process. The product design will also become a solution that will let users interacted more with the environment and the product sustains the environment maximally
