Chatting with the tutors one last time before the crit

I talked with Roberta and Anthony about my final model - I couldn't physically bring it in because I was worried about the crowded bus/potential for it to break. I had some photos however. The feed back was very good, and they liked my development, weaving and also the repositioning of the tram stop and elimination of the stairs.

One thing they suggested I look at was perhaps improving on the very neat cut the stop makes against the existing tram. It could look more "overgrown" and reaching out. Growing like roots. Since the due date is so close, they don't expect going to the workshop (it would be too last minute) but they recommended some experiments. An idea was bending perspex by melting it above a candle, or even leaving it to bubble, making more abstract experiments like those which I began with.

I'm gonna have some fun with it, just to see whether it would add to my model, at this point my matrix is my priority.

For Thursday we need to have:
* Completed 1:50 mod demonstrating appropriate use of Laser cutter
* a clearly labelled and annotated group site plan showing the chosen route
* a clearly labelled and annotated personal site plan showing your stop location with micro-climate and site analysis data.
* a detail model of part of your design (if appropriate)
... * completed and up to date blogs with finished models and all process work
* matrix
