Hi! I’m Tin Yuet, but you can also call me Joyce! I completed my undergraduate studies in Hong Kong and am now a MArch candidate at MSA. I'm over in the Non-standard Habitat atelier this year. My design methodology centers on connectivity, linking people, history, and space. In this project, I aim to translate the storied past of Brookfield Unitarian Church into a functional, inclusive environment for Gorton’s modern community.

Session 4: Spreadsheets, Strategy & Serious Business (…Kind Of)

This session was where things got real. The creative chaos took a backseat as we split into mini teams, each tackling a different task: risk assessment, ethics application, budget, and project timeline.

It was less brainstorming and more "who knows how to use excel?". Each group dove into their task, piecing together the behind-the-scenes structure that makes Built to Belong more than just a great idea.

There were moments of intense focus, a few “wait, does this actually make sense?”

By the end, we had a solid foundation in place. Everything mapped out, justified, and ready to support our final submission.
