Week 4.

My week four team has had the best group dynamic of the four. We were assigned to the 'hourly folding water' project which has evolved into a sort of indoor gardening scheme, it was fitting that we first met right after the botanical gardens tour, we were all still fired about about the awesome plant power systems and we were excited to get going. We sat down the following evening to figure out what needed to be decided upon and researched an then split into smaller groups to work on those specific items. We ended up with a hydroponic system that captured light through a sun tunnel, allowing plants to grow throughout the entire year without the owner having to water or monitor sunlight or really do much work at all. The work load was split pretty evenly and pretty easily according to our respective skills the architects worked on the structure, and did laser cutting, digital renderings and digital models. Peyton worked on logistics for the sun tunnel and the water pump. Rachel, natalie and I figured out the planting scheme and materiality, cast a model of the hydroponic pots and built the model of the space, made the expanded clay beads and made the presentation. Im not sure if it was our personalities that fit together well, or we were all happy with the project and what parts of it we were each able to do, but from my point of view, this week went really smoothly.
