Collaboration Reflection:

 This week the project is beginning to come together with the models beginning to tie in nicely together. Adam continued his work on the architectural and structural models, mainly focusing on the more complex structural elements of the project. He was refining the models, fixing any clashes while also creating the truss system for the roof. He also was designing the roofing system, creating cutouts to allow light into the interior and courtyard. This truss and lighting system is in line with the brief, creating an open industrial feel with natural lighting and raw materials. However with the creation of this system there have been some clashes with the interior model, with the trusses intersecting some interior spaces awkwardly. It was up to me (Jake) and Adam to resolve these clashes, creating this trussing system without sacrificing the interior spaces. Jack could begin placing the lighting grid roughly based on the interior schemtic design. It was also Jack's responsibility to highlight the clashes in each of the individual models. There were some issues with the contouring of the landscape model with the contouring done incorrectly there was a portion of landscape intersecting the building. This was resolved via Adam and Ben working together to notice the mistake and establish what had been done wrong.

To ensure that we were on track with the project, BIM management plan and the project brief I worked with each individual discipline to establish where they were at and whether they were on track with the brief and BIM Management plan. Reviewing the individual work was a helpful process as it showed what tasks had been completed and what was still to be done, providing useful insight to the group.
