VFX Future Project- Post 1

For this module, we are to redesign the university campus as it might look in 100 years time, taking into consideration factors such as architecture, fashion, economics etc.

The first thing we had to do was culminate our research into mood boards; I found it difficult to do this for things like Demographics as these are hard to represent through visuals alone. When presenting my research, I made predictions of what I think may be possible in the future.

• Architectural Design will utilise nature as a way to power itself and help the environment.
