Physical Modelling Techniques
Originally posted on (http://moderngazetteer.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/rachel-11.html) Following our first meeting when we discussed exploring Birmingham through physical casting, specifically using foam, I began to research various modelling techniques. I came across an article, which demonstrated the range of finishes you can achieve with foam; it

DEWAT design
The design of the de-centralized waste system focusses on an adaptable strategy that can be adopted anywhere. In our technical work on DEWAT systems we found a gravity cycle that treats every stage of the waste cycle through gravity. This
