Today, Mr Ward showed us how to build the mountain using chicken fence(?), newspapers, plasters, water. He stapled chicken fence on the MDF board and put the news paper underneath it and created the feature of the mountain, than he sealed it with the stapler again. Then he cover them with the plaster and water mix until we couldn't see the fence under it and using the clothes to smooth the shape of it. For the rest of the lesson, Doris and I have discussed about our design again and finally we made our decision! As we determined to think about the design and draw some of our ideas last lesson, I have draw some designs myself and brought them in to the lesson but Doris couldn't do the ideation because of the assignments we given in recent days. I understand it because it is her first year in St Hilda's and year 10 work could been harsh for her as it is to me, but in some way, I was bit disappointed about that because we are bit behind compared to everyone else. Anyway, the one we searched on the google approached to us the best. So we have decided to go with it. Related to the building design above, we will have the round thing on the top as a solar panels, and will have some wind turbine in the woods on the back. Also 2 water in the middle will be made to a pool (maybe heated? from the power generated by the solar thermal) and buildings on the side will used as a parking lots. the big building on the back will be the resort and the smaller one in the front is a leisure building. Where it has entertaining faculties inside such as sports complex, sauna or whatsoever.
The photo above is my personal best design... the resort is located in front of the beach where it has the boats docks and also some parts are also can be used for people. The ocean will be wavy and there will be wave power facilities under the ocean which are called 'bioWave'. This generates energy from the wave. On the top of the building it will have the solar power and wind turbines at the back in the woods. This seemed to be quite sustainable because it uses 3 different environmental energy sources but because it is group work, so Doris didn't think that we need the ocean and the beach. Moreover, we prefer to make an architectural building than creating whole lot of environmental stuffs with the small buildings.
