A brief meeting was held between the members of the team at a bay in the studio of Matthew building, appointed as the official bay for the Crux team project. This assembly was merely for the purpose of discussing the progress of each member's ongoing work and to discuss further the itinerary of the next day's member's duties.
Design And Construction
The definition of joints for the shelter was scrutinized by Patrick Chiara, who with helps from Lyle McCance, created a 1:1 scaled mock-up joint that would be a detailing to a level which could easily explain the construction of the structure.
Byrne attended to drawings of plans and sections on Google SketchUp and AutoCAD, figuring out the details to eliminate faults and glitches of the structure.
The materials for the construction were slowly piling with Svobodova obtaining the steel shoes that would be the base of the structure, after much consideration and comparing of funds, durability and suitability between products and different sources.
Fundraising
O'Donnell and Jess Little with own incentives, were hopeful to obtain big funds from professionals which they were acquiring from their own personal connections and contacts. Tolani Onajide, on the other hand, confirmed a £100 worth of funding from an architecture firm which happens to be owned by her own father. This such prominent progress was a big step of the project at which made a mental boost to the team.
Flyers for fundraising events were posted on various boards, hoping to appeal to students to attend and support the funding of the project. To give more awareness to students, Facebook was used as a medium to send out virtual invitations for these events to students of University of Dundee, inside the architecture course and out.
Documentation
Ongoing process of documentation regarding photographing was in process that captured every action taken by members regarding the project. Melling and Stephanie Else fabricated the design of the blog for the project, a platform to record steps taken of creating the shelter from the beginning to the end.
