評分項目	配分比例	說明
Context and Relevance	10	How well do you define your specific challenge/problem?
Biomimicry Process	25	How well do you demonstrate (rapid prototyping) and document an understanding of function and biological strategies?
Architecture and Urban Design Process	15	How well do you demonstrate (translate) and document an understanding of biological strategies into urban design strategies?
Creativity	10	How novel is the design innovation and/or biological inspiration for future earth or interplanetary inhabitations?
Feasibility	15	Does your design concept represent a promising future design or technology advancement in design, and/or design solutions to defined problems for future earth? (i.e. show evidence of DFTs and future design applications))

教育目標

This module aims to synergise innovative design thematics by introducing a definitive Biomimicry Design as the sustainability method. Ethos, Re-connect (nature) and Emulation will take in "i-Sites" practice in the nature. Students will learn to formulate design conditions conducive to life. Such conditions form the core learning value in Biomimicry's 'Life's Principles' (LPs) effecting on sustainability and livable design. Students are expected to consider spending time in the nature while contemplating application of LPs for urban resilience design. Biomimicry design challenges for adaptability, recovery, leverage-design and de-coupling design innovation will be tested. The learning outcome calls for clear future design research concepts addressing any aspect of climate change, SDGs, ESG, problems of Anthropocene, visions from mars mission and m2M projects, quantum technology breakthroughs and future applications, or AI applications and implications on cities and architectural design. Thematic design projects should go beyond familiar approaches and make a substantial improvement in learning from the first semester of READ Lab’s Future Cities and Studio Culture. Students are expected to identify unique leverage points for design changes, and demonstrate how Biomimicry Design can lead to new, novel, and or a more effective design solutions. Test and proof of design concepts (the DFTs) are necessary to be incorporated in the final presentation of the learning outcome for the READ LAB projects.
