TEAM: Indigo

Our groups goal is to create an abstract garden in a magical space.

So far we have finished our design, created a working prototype and have planned what materials we will need.

One challenge we have faced is was finalising the design, we had a couple of ideas and we struggled to include them all as well as making it simple. Another thing we struggled with was the theme of our design, a few times we got off track and forgot what iLumin8 is about.

One thing that is going really well in our project is the construction planning, we have a well thought out plan and know exactly what we will use. Another thing going well is the group of people we have, we all work so well together and are glad we were put in a team.

The next step in our group is to plan our measurements for all the materials we need.

TEAM: Aqua

The aim of our project is to create an architectural interactive archway that shows off built environment in the rural and urban aspects of life. We are creating our archway designs and deciding what to decorate it with.

One challenge we have faced is confirming what our design would be. Another challenge was planning what the archways would be made of and how we were going to construct it.

Things that are going well: Designing the archways and communicating with other team members.

From here we order the materials needed and start constructing the archways. Then we code the LEDS to light up in patterns.
