Reflection

In the project design, we consistently adhered to sustainable design principles, focusing on future global competition and Australia's commitment to sustainability. We analyzed TSG's current activities and integrated them with past archives to raise awareness of future sustainability challenges. Our main challenge was to cleverly combine future sustainability issues with TSG's existing archive themes while interacting with the audience and maintaining the project's core vision. To achieve this, we designed a series of promotional activities advocating sustainable development principles, such as creating interactive archive experiences at bus stops and raising awareness of electronic waste recycling in exhibitions. These concepts were seamlessly integrated. Through the interactive TSG archive experience, we not only increased audience engagement but also opened up more possibilities for future sustainable development and archive collections. Our design focuses not only on current interactive experiences but also on contributing to future sustainability.

Through this project, I learned how to adhere to sustainable design principles in my work, focusing on environmental protection and resource conservation. The process of analyzing and integrating current activities with historical archives helped me understand how to cleverly combine future sustainability issues with existing themes and increase audience engagement through interaction. I mastered how to organize and execute promotional activities, such as creating interactive archive experiences at bus stops and advocating electronic waste recycling in exhibitions. This project enhanced my project management and teamwork skills, teaching me how to establish and follow unified design standards. Additionally, I developed innovative thinking, enabling me to combine future sustainability challenges with current designs and contribute to future development.
