ideation phase

Brogan and I ideation phase is going well and we have a large understanding of what we are going to create and we are thinking of a sustainable resort in Bora Bora which includes over water bungalows. To make our resort sustainable, we are going to include a skylight to allow for natural light, cross ventilation for airflow, bifold doors to allow natural light and cross ventilation, and water turbine to create energy. on my next post i will show you pictures and plans of our resort and hopefully by next lesson we will be in the workshop.

Wardy's Workshop

Today we went into the workshop where Mr Ward showed us a demonstration of how to make the base for our sustainable resort. When making our base we will need a piece of DMF wood cut to 400mm x 400mm, Long blocks of wood to glue under the base to add extra height, nails, hammer etc. the machines that will be used are the band saw and belt sander. hopefully next lesson we can make a start, maybe even finish our base for our sustainable resort.

New Year, new unit

This year in our unit we are focusing on architecture and sustainable design. For this assessment we are to do it in pairs and I am going with Brogan. My partner and I are to are to design and fabricate a scaled model of our chosen theme-specific resort to be made on a base area of 400mm x 400mm. we have already begun the ideation phase and have a few very good ideas that we might consider including in our final product.
