The general concept of the design, the spatial organization, and the functions are decided democratically in group meetings. Then, the work done to produce all the required drawings are split between each members of the group according to our own 'specialties'.

The plans and sections are drawn together, with the final compiling and post processing done by Gaia and Sara. They are also the ones in charge of our grand design guidelines for our final presentations.

The modelling of the design was left to my and Rania's hands. We used both Rhino and Revit. Since we were not given any base models, it was up to us to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.

I personally did all of the detailing and the structural part, including the design and the drawings. The physical model – the maquette – is also mostly me, at least the biggest one, with help here and there from the others.

The visualization part, Rania and I provided the base. It was up to Gaia to do post processing on them. In the end, we have a mix between raw images from the rendering software, and a collection of a postprocessed visual.

Again, what we were trying to achieve in the visualization is to show the lightness and transparency in our intervention. Materials chosen are mostly glass and metal, which we all know is very modern and can be molded to our needs without needing to have thick profiles.

We put all of our drawings in a panel which unfortunately would be to big to be uploaded. Thus, I have taken apart the images for you to see.
