Feedback on Team Fabrications 13/05/09

Team - Digilism

Strengths: There first strength was choosing a very symbolic location where the world trade centers used to be. And also choosing a unique building style that is different from the traditional skyscraper makes this fabrication stand out.

Weaknesses: The internal structure seemed like an empty space. More entourage elements such as people would of given the map a sense of scale. An interactive element such as elevators would make the design better since it is a skyscraper.


Team - Orange

Strengths: The Ren building looks awesome in its environment. The lighting really enhances the volume and spaces within and around the building. Entourage helps give the fabrication a sense of scale and gives realism.

Weaknesses: The overall landscape and map would look better and more realistic if a google earth image of the site was scaled and used.


Team - Evolve

Strengths: Uses architecture that is in a different site context. The landscape really looks like a desert environment with a realistic looking oasis where the structure is. Good use of cinematic in the presentation give you the impersonation that you are stranded and lost then find an oasis.

Weaknesses: The pool at the bottom of the structure doesn't show much depth and can be made to look more realistic. The other structural element which is the reservoir fulled with water should be modelled and Incorporated into the final map.


Team - Urbans

Strengths: Moving the model from Hyde Park to a smaller map really helps emphasize the size since you can now compare it to buildings in the distance. Using google earth imaging has helped create a scaled environment that shows allot of realism. Space inside the cenotaph should incorporate people with AI to help showcase what you can do when you visit this structure.

Weaknesses: The site map had elements which seemed out of place such as the main river where the bridge and entry is to the cenotaph. The river seemed quite big and deep when in real life it is quite shallow. Bird elements show a sense of scale but walking people with AI would look so much better. Interactive elements should be Incorporated such as doors, maybe a lift structure to take you to the dome of the Cenotaph.


Team - Omega

Strengths: Carrying on from there successful draft fabrication, there design is really looking good. Adding underground areas to the cultural center are really making the design more realistic to the intended architectural designs. The conference room in particular looks good with its textures and modelling.

Weaknesses: More people and A.I. especially in the conference room will help make this map more realistic. More interactive components such as control panels to control lighting or movable screens in the conference room will give users something to do in the design. And interiors of rooms can be improved upon with more modelling to help fill it out.
