Will I ever reach Zero Carbon?| Wadzanai C Mhuka
When told we would be given a Victorian House as our model to make zero carbon it was almost laughable. How does one go about making such a building sustainable but also keeping the aesthetic of it? This collaboration was

Aluminium Tectonics-Final Model-Alvin Amito
For the final model we chose the scale 1:2 instead of 1:1 because it allowed us to be able to show more of the screen inside the 1:1 frame and how it worked, rather than the full scale model. This

After creating the mock ups, we made a 1:10 scale model to test out the scheme and the Aluminium. This was an interesting and extremely useful experience as several issues were highlighted such as the type of connections we should

At the second workshop session we came up with more solid ideas that were based on the themes of music and motion, incorporating elements from the musical instrument, the piano. We decided on creating a screen that resembled a piano
