Ecotopia Sphere

Overview

Ecotopia Sphere is a web platform that promotes environmental awareness and sustainable living in the context of smart cities, connecting education, community action, and green technology innovation into one digital ecosystem.

Project Context

EcoTopia Sphere is the final project for the Web Design course in the Informatics Study Program at Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK). It was delivered end to end, from design to implementation: the original interface design was made in Figma, then built into the live website at ecotopia-sphere.vercel.app.

Problem

Education about eco-friendly living is often scattered across disconnected sources, and people lack a platform that combines learning with a space to actually participate in real environmental action.

Solution

Ecotopia Sphere brings together structured educational articles, a showcase of green technology innovations for urban environments, and a community space where users can share their own environmental actions to inspire others, backed by animated collective-impact statistics.

Features

• 12 structured educational articles on energy, water, waste, and transport
• A showcase of 10 green technology innovations for urban environments
• A community action space for sharing and inspiring environmental action
• Animated collective impact statistics
• An about page covering the platform's vision, mission, philosophy, and logo

Tech Stack

Vue 3 (Composition API) and Vite were chosen to build a lightweight single-page application with history-mode navigation via Vue Router. Tailwind CSS sped up building a consistent look without excess custom CSS. Since all content is static and community interactions are stored in localStorage, the app needs no backend at all.

Challenges

Structuring a fairly large body of educational content (12 articles, 10 innovations) so it stays easy to navigate without the pages feeling dense or confusing.

What I Learned

This project sharpened my ability to design information architecture for a large volume of educational content, and to use localStorage as a simple backend substitute for user-contribution-based community features.

Result

Ecotopia Sphere provides a single centralized platform for learning about sustainable living while giving users a space to share their real actions, all accessible directly from the browser.
