Jake Hagan-Carson-Day 5

This was the day that we were to present our final poster and the model. As we had stupidly not done any work on the poster before the morning I had a full on morning putting it together.

I was sticking down the floorplans and elavation that I had done previously and typing out some additional boxes of text to go under the pictures. I then went to the library to print these off and stuck them on also. I was pretty happy with the result considering I had put it together on the day, ideally I would have done it on a computer and printed it out but due to the very tight timescale of the project this would’ve been very hard.

Watching and listening to other peoples presentations was very insightful, as every group but one decided to use shipping containers it was interesting to see how they had overcome the problems that we had also incountered. The most interesting prooblem was seeing everyones methods of working around the limited space; there were some ideas which were very similar to ours in the way of haing a folding out decking but also some other interesting concepts like whole sections that slid out.

I feel our presentation went well, we filled the 10 minutes without having to pause or think of anything to make time which was good. We also answered all of the questions with an answer that was logical and answered the question. The only downside was that we missed afew points off the costing sheet that we forgot about. Apart from this I feel we did a good job overall and I’m pleased with our final result.
I also enjoyed the week as a whole, the work load was very high but in fairness we were warned! Pictures of our final model can be seen below
