ARCH1392: Individual Major Milestone

Individual Major Milestone

As a group member of the Bus Stop of the Future, the main work for me is focus on the fabrication method of the bus stop. As a group, we normally update our own thoughts and ideas to our individual blog and also the Facebook group. And discussed our own ideas and improve the connection method in the Wednesday studio.

Team member roles were to be assigned after Week 2, we've discussed and decided that Jason Lo to be our team leader. And we think that allocating a person to a specific role for the process of the project wouldn't be suitable, and we will work together to develop the project.

Weekly Meeting

After the meeting in Week 2, we were trained to use the laser cut machine by Russell. After the meeting with Elliot and Hank, we've got the idea of what this project expected to reach. And discuss the Time Line, the Gantt Chart and the Project Plan with team leader-Jason Lo and team member-Tony Tang.

Research

Joinery Method

To start the fabrication method by using CNC machine and laser cut machine, I've done some research of CNC timber panel joinery.

Laser Cut

Kerre from the other group came out with this connection. Working with the other members, we did a laser cut model of testing the connection detail of the roof part.

Detail Drawing

After the few meeting with Elliot and Hank, we've got some details' hand drawings and all the group members did one of the detail drawing in AutoCad.The one I did was DETAIL IV - Corner Detail Big Box Display - Horizontal Section

Documenation

I created a group blog to record all the result we discussed in the studio and the meeting we had with Eliiot and Hank. But since two groups are working together in this stage, we are mainly updating our results on Facebook group.
