This document outlines the design process for a product called Cap Connect, a drinking game that uses bottle caps. It begins with initial market research on the drinks market and identifying that glass bottles are preferred for beers and ciders. Existing cap-related products are found to be crafts rather than functional objects. Early prototypes are created using foam. The concept of a game involving dropping caps into a frame to form rows is developed through sketches. A new prototype is made from laser-cut acrylic and foamboard to test the design. Plastics are selected as the preferred material for mass manufacturing due to lower costs compared to wood or metal. Different plastic materials are considered, with high impact polystyrene identified as a good option due

This document provides plans and design concepts for a proposed new Stokehouse building in St. Kilda. The design seeks to merge the architecture with the landscape by having the ground floor nestled into a new indigenous landscape landform while the first floor appears to float above. Materials would provide transparency with operable screens. Sustainability features like solar panels, green walls and rainwater harvesting are discussed. The goal is to create an integrated 'landscape object' that engages with the site's history and surroundings.
The document presents design concepts for the interior of a child care center located in three levels of shipping containers, with the ground level housing infant to preschool classrooms following different sports themes in the hallways and common areas, the second level containing more classrooms, and the third level providing staff residence housing. Furniture would be sourced from Community Playthings and follow ergonomic and LEED standards for different age groups. Wayfinding, security, and accessibility features are considered throughout the design of the facility.

The inventor of the printed circuit board was Austrian engineer Paul Eisler, who created one in 1936 as part of a radio while working in England. During World War 2, the United States began large-scale production of printed circuit boards to manufacture robust radios. After the war, in 1948, the United States commercialized the technology. Printed circuit boards became popular consumer goods in the mid-1950s.

Materials:
The materials included glass blocks, large sheets of
glass, asbestos, plywood and plastic. Steel was used
as a design element in addition to being used for
support.

Features:
Features of Googie include upswept
roofs curvaceous, geometric shapes
as well as glass used as design, not
just to serve a function.
The elements of Googie design included:
Upswept roofs
Cantilevered ceilings
Domed roofs
Glass as a design element
Boomerang and amoeba shapes
Atomicshapes based on the atomic model
Starbursts
Buildings resembling spacecraft
Exposed steel beams

Starbursts are an ornament that is common
with the Googie style, perhaps the most notable
example of the starburst appears on the
"Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, which
has now become famous.
BOOMERANGSHAPE
The boomerang shape was another design
element that captured movement. It was used
structurally in place of a pillar or
aesthetically as a stylized arrow. Hess writes
that the boomerang was a stylistic rendering of
a directional energy field
RoofsslopingATANUPWARDANGLE
Many Googie style coffee shops, and other structures, have a
roof that appears to be 2⁄3 of an inverted obtuse triangle. A
great example of this is the famous, but now closed, Johnie's
Coffee Shop on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.

SPACENEEDLE
• A 1962 construction of seattles landmark. The architecture of the Space Needle is the
result of a compromise between the designs of two men, Edward E. Carlson and John
Graham
• a 14,400 square foot (1337.8 square meter) site WITH The first step was to dig a hole 30
feet (9 meters) deep and 120 feet (36.6 meters) across into which the building’s
foundation could be poured. This concrete pour would be the largest attempted in the
West to that date: over the course of an entire day, a total of 467 cement trucks worked
to fill the gaping hole.
• The structure comprises a steel tripod, with each of the three legs pinched just above
the middle of their height.
• The height of structure is 184m.
• The Space Needle has an observation deck at 520 ft (160 m)[
• Visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle by elevators The trip takes 41 seconds
• 2 restaurants at the height of 150m.
• The main stairwell has 848 steps from the basement to the top of the observation deck.

THEMEBUILDING,LAX
• The Theme BUILDING is an iconic MODERNIST STRUCTURE at Los Angeles
International AIRPORT(LAX).
• The initial design was created by James Langenheim, of Pereira & Luckman,
subsequently taken to fruition by a team of architects and engineers headed by
William Pereira and Charles Luckman, that also included Paul Williams and
Welton Becket.
• The distinctive white building resembles a FLYING SAUCER that has landed on
its four legs. The Theme Building is made up of two parabolic arches created by
topping four steel-reinforced concrete legs extending approximately 15 feet
above the ground with hollow stucco -covered steel trusses. When it first
opened, it contained a restaurant in the central part of the structure and an
observation deck above it. Families would come to eat dinner together and gaze
at the 360 degree view of Los Angeles. After dinner, they could go up to the
observation deck and watch planes take off and land. A screen wall of
decorative concrete block surrounds the building.

CHEMOSPHERE
• One of the most modern buildings of it’s
time, the Chemosphere by architect John
Lautner, is praised for it’s unique design
and for it’s ingenious solution to the
problem of building on a lot with a
dramatic angled slope of 45 degrees,
making construction nearly impossible.
• However, for the Chemosphere Lautner
took the daunting task and engineered a
new method for a home to be built. He
decided the home should be a one story,
octagon house, built on a 30 feet high
concrete pole which is supported by a
pedestal buried in the earth.
• This approach reduced the building cost
to almost half of the conventional
solution of building retaining walls.
This method also left the natural
surroundings untouched and unspoiled.

• The structureof the Chemosphere is made of steel, timber and the roof
is supportedby curved frames of laminatedwood.
• The perimeter of the house is lined with windows to providestunning
views of the surroundings.The transitionto the outside is made
through the edge detail. This edge zone, while accommodatingstorage,
a seat and at one point a small terrace, has also a structural
function.
• The interior is divided into several designated spaces. The northern
side facing the views contains the public spaces such as the living
room, kitchen and dining area, while the side facing the hills contains
four bedrooms and bathrooms. At the center of the house, there’s a
spectacular fireplace,surroundedby an exposed brick wall and a
skylight above, to let the daylight flow in freely.
• The upper structureis constructedwith laminated beams subjected to
a compressionring in the central steel upper platformdeck and all
eight arms rests on steel on a single supportingconcrete pillar
diameter of 6 meters and height 8.7.
