Design And Construction
A mock up at 1:1 was refined and practiced by Pat which helped develop the groups understanding of some of the detailing. They discussed the need for people to practice the technique in the week before the timber arrived, as accuracy was imperative.

David refined the AutoCAD drawings and the SketchUp Model, tweaking each joint where necessary. Klara and Steph visited a number of timber merchants and bought some steel shoes. The cheapest place was pin-pointed for timber and they priced up the costing for the fundraisers and for Steph to raise the necessary funding.
Fundraising
Aoife and Jess helped to convince the group to look for sponsors. Tolani confirmed she could get her fathers firm to make a donation to the project. The speed of the funding would be important for the progress of the project, namely ordering material.
Flyers for fundraising events were posted on various boards. To give more awareness to students, Facebook was used as a medium to send out virtual invitations for these events to students of University of Dundee, across the university, broadening from the architecture department.
Documentation
Various photographs and blogs were being collected by the Documentation Team. Constantina continued to update the facebook page, John and Steph worked on the look and appeal of the blog, which is now reachable from the facebook pages. Farid collected the information on what the group was done to help supplement the photographic material being posted on this blog.
Mindaugas spray painted the logo across the studios, and have helped to sell the project to the other years in Architecture and the tutors also.
