The time has now come for final design alterations and for the commencement of presentation drawings. The group has decided to split the work up into sections so that each member is responsible for a fair portioned section. Joel was to draw up all 2D drawings and details on CAD, whereas Alyssa and I were responsible for all rendering of the drawings, 3D views and physical model making. To begin this process Joel supplied Alyssa and I with the 6 1:1000 section cuts which he re-drew on CAD. We then inserted the building and applied detail to the sections, such as natural "materials" surrounding the building, as is shown in the example of 2 of the sections cutting through the building below.

Next task was to complete the physical model. Alyssa and I agreed to construct the base site contours out of a paper mache base which we filled with bubble wrap and scrunched paper to give a realistic land texture. After the base layer was dry we draped stark white tissue paper over the top and later painted the entire base white to give an even pure white finish so that the 2 physical models would stand out against their simplistic site. Below are some images of both the site model and our working in progress.

Whilst the site model was drying, we started to construct the closed configuration of our building. I suggested selecting fine base materials such as thin card to allow neat and tight gluing of the facade, which we then decided to clad in balsa wood. I then constructed the operational model where I opened most external bi-fold walls and left one in motion to show how they operate. Below are some images of both the closed and open operational model which I edited in Photoshop. **Editing of the river bank has been left to the end intentionally.

Next task was the site plan and site analysis which Alyssa and I completed. We both agreed it would be interesting to incorporate an image of the site contours from eBimap into the site plan to portray realistic variation between land heights on the 2D image. Both site plan and analysis were created in Photoshop and show a strong relationship as we considered using similar techniques to complete the images to show relation.
