ASSIGNMENT 1
DESIGN YOUR OWN COUNTRY
IDEATE
Brainstorming to generate ideas which makes imaginations come true
From define, it is decided that my country is named Reverie.
COUNTRY FLAG
I would like my country flag to have the nature elements that creates and support the island, like sun, water and land.
These are some illustrations I found online which suits the concept of my country. The designs are simple and nice, as well as using harmony colours.
LAND OF REVERIE
SHAPE OF ISLAND
SHAPE OF A LOTUS LEAF
SHAPE OF A WHALE
SHAPE OF A SUN
Lotus is the national flower of Reverie Island. The lotus symbolizes Reverie where people owns a pure and devotion heart. Instead of the lotus flower, the shape of lotus leaf is just simple and beautiful.
Whale is the spiritual national animal in Reverie. The shape of a whale for the island can be interesting and special as it is also strongly related to the sea.
Inspired by the sunrise and sunset in Reverie which is always spectacular and glorious. The shape of sun might be great but quite plain and normal for a country.
BEST IDEA CHOSEN
SHAPE OF A LOTUS LEAF
I think the shape of a lotus leaf as the shape of the island is remarkable and meaningful. It strongly represents the people and way of living in Reverie. In addition, the shape is simple and beautiful, as well as easy the divide into different parts.
NAME OF CITIES
Name after stars
Name after beautiful words
Name after nature elements
Reverie is divided into 4 parts where each part represents a city.
The centre of the island is the entrance to the underwaterworld (the middle of the lotus leaf which is always sunken and leaves dew in the morning).
The rest of three are in land form surrounded by the sea and beaches.

ECONOMY
SOURCE OF INCOME
Although Reverie focuses on freedom and life appreciation, yet it is has its own developed and growing economy which contributes a lot to the country.
I have done some researches on source of income in different countries all over the world, finding the secrets which makes a country rich such as Luxembourg, Switzerland and Norway.
BEST IDEAS CHOSEN
UNDERWATER MARINE TECHNOLGY
INTERNATIONAL PORT
Inspired by the underwater city of Atlantis and the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria, Reverie creates and explore it's own underwater city based on the existing nature condition. The high-advanced marine technology is world no.1 in the world.
Since Reverie is located at a strategic location, it has one of the world's best international cargo seaport which exports goods and materials from its neighboring countries.
TOURISM
With the beautiful sea views, as well as soft and white beaches, Reverie is an ideal place to getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city for an island vacation.
RAW MATERIALS
Fresh marine products and some plantations from the fresh land provides sufficient food source for the people and helps to boost the country's economy.
TRANSPORTATION
PUBLIC TRANSPORT : TRAM
ON LAND
UNDERWATER
FLOATING
The tram is a memorable and special rail vehicle that runs on tramway tracks along the streets. It is convenient and provide a comfortable ride.
BEST IDEAS CHOSEN
There are two tram system respectively for land and underwater.
LAND: Normal tram which runs on tramway
UNDERWATER: Floating tram which passengers can travel in water and look over the underwater city clearly
ARCHITECTURE
BRITISH ARCHITECTURE
EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE
JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE
FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURE
BEST IDEAS CHOSEN
EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of Europe is varied, rich in history and tradition and with great names within contemporary architects. It is really beautiful and it gives a sense of harmonious and soothing living.
ENVIRONMENTAL IDEAS
FOUR SEASONS
The four seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—follow one another regularly. Each has its own light, temperature, and weather patterns that repeat yearly. The four seasons here does not experience extremes where each of them are just nice, suitable and much comfortable.
RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY
Since Reverie is an island which receives a lot of sunlight and wind all year, solar energy and wind energy is the main sources of energy used to generate electricity. Solar panels are built and wind turbines are built by the sea. These renewable energies can be replenished and eco-friendly.
