Bottled Moments

Introduction

The thematic focus is Experience and Product Design of Media Architecture. Groups will be developing your design work with the goal of designing the visitor experience of a real-world cultural venue. The studio will be supported by Lake Macquarie City Council in New South Wales, and our Design Brief will have their Multi-Arts Pavilion, mima (MAP mima), a cultural precinct as target location.

Problem

In 2018, Lake Macquaire City collaborated with University of Newcastle to design a new venue that to be developed in Speers Point Park as a significant cultural and arts space for Lake Macquaire--that place is now known by the name map MIMA. MAP mima was concepted by an architect student from University of Newcastle named Samantha Bailey and the building was launched in October 2021 with collaborations with other artists to allow the place to be a beacon in Lake Macquaire area. And the intentions was to create a landmark that is opened day and night to help establish Lake Macquarie as one of the region's major cultural destinations, with the potential to attract national and international artists and exhibitions. Since it is initial launching, the area is used to create a lot attractions to the general public. This includes:

1. Local Music Performance
2. Art workshops for children
3. Public and potential tourists attractions
4. Food night market and social hangouts

Success Metrics

The Success Metrics of our project are as follow:

Design Process

During our research process, our group conducted the Double Diamond to ensure that our project and brief reaches it's maturity.

‍

Our group starts by conducting Brainstorming to find our target users

Then we do Site Analysis by visiting to mapMIMA at Speers Point Park

And use Data Analytics to analyse potential target users and find our target groups confirming our previous Brainstorm and Hypothesis

Eventually we discover our target users by statistics and data analytics.

We then conduct Ideation Process to create and propose two design

And the theme and final concept of our product is:

Solution

For the final stage and the design process, we iterate the concept of our product by:

1. Artifact Research and Improvements by doing Localization
2. Create a design system and identity that matches with Lake Macquarie and all of it's audiences
