02 GENERAL Generally speaking, making physical models is very different from architecture under real construction. Conditions of the site, scale of the project, overall cost and many other things will be needed to taken into consideration. In my group, there has been an opinion divergence in deciding the real construction method. This divergence is derived from how these sticks with panels can be set on site. First we were thinking about whether to vertically layering the panels or horizontally layering them. The next we suddenly realize that in real construction, such a big panel will need frame work to support it and the frame work will distract people from viewing the patterns. Then, considering the feedbacks from tutors, we started to thinking whether we need this panel or not. One thought that plastic panels produce nice reflection of the design and is important for achieving the effect of the previous design concept. The other thought that using plastic panels are expensive and not necessary, so we should do something totally different from the mid-term submission like putting the sticks on ground. Both sides provided some useful arguments and from the intensive debates I will analyze both proposals.
