Bushfire-Resistant Housing - Ideation and Prototyping Phase

Students conceptualise a bushfire-resistant house that addresses the impact of bushfires on people, communities and property.

This set of resources challenges teachers and educators to expand their practice by utilising the design process methodology – an engaging, self-directed learning structure that guides students towards becoming experts so that they can ultimately design solutions that have a positive impact on people and communities.

This lesson guides students through the process of drafting, reiterating and elaborating on their ideas for bushfire-resistant housing. In order to identify the best possible solution, students explore multiple concepts, identifying limitations, exploring alternatives and streamlining their designs.
