On Thursday AT students stayed in University of Brighton and the other students stayed in their colleges. Before I left Chichester College last night I ask our module leader if I can go back the next day to help Sam from Chichester to work on the model however the group needed extra hand with research and sketches therefore I stayed in the University which gave same additional time to work on the model on his own. Haroon was also helping us for further research on his precedence studies to provide good examples where we got the ideas for the Eco-cabin.
The AT students in our group continued finalizing the model and the designs for the Eco-cabin such as materials and furniture. During the day Aidan focused on costings of the entire Eco-cabin and I helped on precedents studies. Managing the costings took longer than we thought this is because we wanted to get the most efficient products and materials for the cabin. While me and Aidan are doing the research Laura is assigned on sketches and final drawings, she produced the 3D final design drawing combine with different elevations and floor plan to have a clearer understanding for the client.
Further in the day Laura and I decided to plan out a rough layout for the A1 poster due to the limited space and to ensure every details needed are presented for the client. In addition Aidan completed the costing with the references and dimensions including everything provided for the client. At the end the rough total cost of the cabin was £6100 therefore we are in the budget which is a good sign.
During the same day Sam have mostly finished the model where most of the components are placed and included to represent their individual function from the decking up to the roofing.
Later that day we still had spare time to so more work so I had drawn sections and detailing to present and add onto the poster. After all the drawings and research done Laura started putting all the information needed onto a A1 poster to be ready the next day (Friday). Laura’s presentation and layout of the poster is how I would say on point this is because all the information is provided for easy understanding which follow through the poster. From the precedence studies to costing management and to the model making.
