Day Five – Design Development
In the morning, students split into three groups, one began modelling the design in rhino, the second finalized the physical model from the previous week, adding greenery and details, and the third worked in the workshop, laser cutting 1:100 terrain models and assembling.

In the afternoon, students split into two groups, BA1 students began to compile all the site analysis strategies while BA2 students and March students discussed with the layouts of the buildings and kept finalizing the design.

Day Six – Design Development Progress
A brand new day has begun! To keep things running smoothly, we divided the students into two groups. We split the team based on each student's preference: either engaging in physical model making or working with 3D digital modelling software such as Rhino, SketchUp, and Revit. The students in the model making team are currently located in the Benzie building, where they are introduced to architectural modelling techniques using wood. On the other hand, the students in the 3D digital model group are situated in the Geoffrey Manton building, eagerly exploring the world of software-based design.

In the afternoon, we reconvened at the Geoffrey Manton building to discuss the forms and layouts of the buildings. We continued refining the design, engaging in collaborative discussions to reach the finalization stage.

Day Six – Design Development Progress
We are delighted to present our physical site model! Through ongoing discussions, we have made several iterations to enhance its design. In our efforts to bring life to the model, we have added human figures, benches, and stalls, which we are continuously refining in order to complement the moat.

Day Seven – Finalising The Design
A brand new day has arrived, and we are filled with excitement as we approach the finalisation of our design. In the morning, we gathered at the Geoffrey Manton building, eager to conclude our plans for both the building and the moat, following our productive discussions from the previous day. We have successfully completed the floor plan drawings for the building using AutoCAD and are now transitioning to constructing the 3D model in Rhino.
To foster collaboration and gather valuable input, we projected the model-making process onto a big screen, allowing everyone to observe and share their opinions. This interactive approach enables us to not only receive feedback but also encourages the exchange of new ideas. It proves to be an effective method of involving everyone in the decision-making process and gathering their final thoughts.

Day Seven – Finalising The Design
During the afternoon, we divided the students into two groups. The first group focused on finalizing the 3D digital model, while the second group worked on completing the physical model at the Benzie Building. We engaged in a discussion regarding the choice of materials for the final outcome, considering the various options available to us. Additionally, we strategised the rendering techniques to create compelling visualization images for our project.
