Day 5: Developing Ideas

Today, BA students tried out the school computers in the CAD lab to start individual group tasks.
Team A cut their first truss and laser cut today in B15.
Team B started brainstorming about the lighting designs for the interior of the building based on a variety of reference images found on Friday. One group used hanging lights, which can effectively reduce the distance from the light source to the floor and improve the light conditions in the interior. The MArch team used a combination of both types of light, which was both practical and innovative.
According to the brainstorming session on Friday, Team C started to turn the paper drawings into electronic drafts. In addition, the BA students created a total of 4-5 options for the placement of the staircase and the design of the loft space, which was very feasible, and the MArch students also designed implementable solutions through their knowledge of the site and internal regulations.

Day 7: Finalising outputs

The main task for Team B and Team C today was to determine the final output.

Team B has found the optimal result for each grouping after yesterday's continuous testing. Hence, each result was embellished and integrated today.

Through the revision and design of the plan, Team C has produced sections with different options, which have made the final effect of the plan (attic and ground floor) more concrete.
