Action week 1 involves ice breaking, site visit and getting the group to churn ideas and visualize what the sound module would be like

Action week 2 gets the group making a single module prototype along with the construction sequence and instruction manual for the installation.

Rolling into Day 1: Making Connections and Breaking Ice with the 5th Years and BAs.

We began by briefing the BAs on the project's objectives and scope. After the briefing, we organized an ice-breaking session to build camaraderie among the participants. It was a game of charades and draw your neighbour.

Overall, day 1 was a great success as the team was able to break down barriers and build bonds among the participants. The team looks forward to the next stages of the project with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

Next, armed with their learnings from The Big Draw, each student embarked on the creation of a 1:100 scale sketch model of their unique sound module. Drawing from their collages and the discussions that followed, the students manifested their visions into physical representations. These sketch models captured the essence of their module designs and contextual integration.

Day 3 marked a significant milestone in the AcouSkate project, as the students brought their ideas one step closer to reality. The site models and sketch models laid the groundwork for the subsequent stages of the project, igniting anticipation for the transformative sound treatments that will soon grace ProjektsMCR skatepark.The acoustic talk fostered an environment of shared learning, ensuring that each student's module design benefited from the collective expertise and insights of their peers.

The finalized module design embodies the project's objectives of enhancing sound quality and preventing sound leakage while seamlessly integrating with the skatepark's architecture and layout. The size and shape of the modules were chosen to strike the perfect balance between functionality, visual appeal, and practicality. Fixings were carefully selected to ensure secure and durable installation, while the chosen materials were optimized for both acoustic performance and environmental sustainability.

Day 4 marked an important milestone in the AcouSkate project, as the team successfully concluded the design phase . With the design now locked down, the project is primed to move forward to the next stages of manual making, model making, and construction sequence.

Once the 1:20 scale site model was complete, it served as the canvas for the placement of the 1:20 scale sound modules. The team strategically positioned each module within the model, paying close attention to factors such as line of sight, proximity to skating areas, and optimal sound distribution.

This exercise allowed the team to visualize the spatial relationship between the sound modules and the skatepark, ensuring that the placement would not only enhance sound quality but also seamlessly integrate with the overall aesthetics of the site.

The completion of these essential documents set the stage for the next steps in theAcouSkate project, bringing the vision of enhanced sound treatments at ProjektsMCR skatepark one step closer to reality. We are now ready to move forward in constructing the 1:2 model of the module.
