One of the groups has began modelling their conceptual site map. Using materials found on the site itself they've been able to show how their structure will be nestled amongst the slope of the site in a dada-esque style.

Ivan's begun work on his group's 3D drawing. His use of collage creates a textured, emotive site context for his building drawing to sit on.

Quite a crowd gathered yesterday. The balloons installation went according to plan and a little happiness was spread in the Benzie atrium yesterday afternoon! It was interesting to see everyones positive reactions to the spectacle.
