v ray renders

i used v ray to render through sketchup, was more difficult but with some photoshop they came up far better than anything sketchup can produce

visit to old demountable classrooms

obviously slightly older than the last demountables looked at, by the looks of it they have been here their entire life. Haven't been looked after or maintained

Mod 5 Visit

We did a group visit to a local highschool, found a mod-5 classroom, upon a pretty brief inspection it became pretty obvious that there must be a better solution.

pretty uninspiring place for learning

we had a look at how it sits on the ground, might provide a precedent for the next stage of the project

the joints between 2 sections of the classroom, just bolted together, the seams are held with press riveted joints

services are not integrated but just tacked on to the back to make them less visible
