Walking into J Block yesterday was like walking into a sauna, but instead of the air being full heat and sweat, it was thick with tension and lack of sleep!
It's always so intimidating walking in on presentation day, seeing everyone's works for the first time, wondering how your's shapes up in comparison. But on the whole, I do believe that everyone put in a great effort, and I'm really proud of our achievements. There were some amazingly unique concepts on display, and I can't wait to see how some of them will transform into architectural projects by the end of the semester.
Just before starting our presentation, we were told that our panels "stood out", not only for their vibrant designs, but also for our different approach to our future scenario. This made us unbelievably happy, as I was stressing out that perhaps we'd taken to wild an approach (aparently the majority of our class just went with verticle farming!), but it was a relief to see that we weren't going to be penalised for thinking outside the box.
The rest of our presentation went great, the tutors were receptive (and intrigued), with a mini debate forming with Ruwan over our choice of sponsors (we may want to consider Microsoft due to their philanthropic ventures and market experimentation), and with Davor over the ethics behind our scenario (we may have to sacrifice 'freedom of choice' to maintain our desired affluent lifestyles). These will probably be issues we develop further in our architectural approaches, so on the whole it was a really promising presentation, and we're even more pumped to continue it on.
