Week 4

We finally decided on the unbuilt buidling, which was Market-Rate Housing in Brooklyn, NY (Lewis Wadsworth, Yale School of Architecture)

We roughly divided our roles in terms of modelling, texture, lighting, sounding and animating.

We decided that for our presntation, we would require

- Large images

- Sound

- Points (graphical fonts) to describe the images

- Video record

for a clearer communication to the audience.

In addition, I went and looked at some Archmodels, which may help in our project for modelling

Below are some examples.

Record

Record can be done using virtually any form of energy, spanning from manual muscle power in handwriting, to acoustic vibrations in phonographic recording, to electromagnetic energy modulating magnetic tape and optical discs.

In regards to an architectural collaboration, it would be keeping or managing data from meetings or discussions and ideas. This type of record can be done by writing notes from the meeting. It would be one of essential factors that a group would need. This could come in handy when bringing ideas forward and also looking back at some previous ideas the group has made. Getting it typed up on blog will help the group members to have easy access to what they have done and what they have do. It will also help members of the group who have unfortunately missed out on meetings and help them catch up.

Recording information in terms of digital collaboration could come in many ways.

Writing notes
Posting it up on blogs
