| Master Class |
Two weeks before submission, we had a master class with industry professionals. I had prepared some drawings in order to get some feedback.
  
As well as my scaled drawings, I also produced a quick marquette to show how the building works.:
 I must admit that I'm not usually the type to produce a mini model, but I found it very rewarding to see how the building works. After producing the model, I was able to see areas that worked, and areas that didn't.
Peter Woolard spent some time discussing our buildings. He suggested that I make the walls a bit more interesting, so that the building didn't look like walls with just a weird roof stuck on. This was very handy advice, and I decided to implement it. I extended the roof so that it appears that it is 'crashing' into the walls, providing more cohesion as a design. I also added some fins that added some intrigue as well as structural support to the roof. These additions can be seen in later drawings.

"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight."
