Day 12: More images of physical model to illustrate the atmosphere we intended to create.

Day 11: Captured a beautiful picture with the physical model we made, this image in particular express the display of fragments of what would have been destroyed within the church being suspended from the ceiling.

Day 9: Initial design with cross section drawing

Day 6 - 9 : After finalising our concept, we created a sketch up model to visualise our idea, then we experimented with breaking parts of the truss and made them all fall from an equal height to gain a jagged sky light pattern for the roof, this is used to express the narrative of 'fragments'.

Day 3: As our small group has been assigned the task of creating a physical site model, we spent the third day planning out the production. We have left our meeting with a clear idea of what scale we will create it in and what material.This process also involved laser cutting.
Image shows process between day 3 - 9.

Day 1: It's been the perfect weather for a site visit, photography taken under the generous amount of sunlight.

Day 11: Today is our final review day, each of the four groups had 10-15 minutes to present our design. This is one of the pages extracted from our presentation which explains our concept of the installation:
Playing with light and fragments suspended from the ceiling as a remembrance of the war.

Day 10: Final model completed. This picture captures the atmospheric internal view of the light effect created by the jagged pattern on the roof.

1:100 site model completed. It will be used for presentation and giving context to our memorial intervention.

Day 6: Sketch Model Developed. It was used for testing the position of trusses and the pattern of the jagged holes in the roof. It has also illustrated the spacial relationship between the exhibition boxes and the building volume, we later found that it seems unsympathetic to the human scale so we decided to change our method of displaying the exhibiting items.

Day 5: After further refining our design narrative today. I've drawn these two illustrations of burnt wood beams after the destruction of fire, they are to help interpreting the symbolic meaning behind the staggered patterns which the sky light of the roof takes form from.

Day 2: Today's meeting started off with each individuals sharing their initial concept (image at top and bottom left showing mine), then four categories of approach to the memorial intervention were named. We then made our choices of groups to get into according our interests. Jobs were also delegated to each group to carry out research, site analysis and context studies.
