WEEK 7

Monday, 02/07/2018

Met up for 9th Group Discussion.

Officially commence construction planning. 

Master list of questions we asked ourselves to properly map out our project plans on mahjong paper™:

THINGS TO ASK CLIENT

• Charity for Donation Box?
• Who is going to supervise/handle collection + distribution?
• Project deadlines
• Display duration

 THINGS TO ASK BUILDING CREW

• How big is service lift? Do we need to separate the structure into segments?

CREATING THE INSTALLATION

A) Mechanism

• What mechanism do we use for each interactable item?

• What does the mechanism need? (wiring? battery? circuits?)

• Where do the mechanisms go inside the installation?

B) Structure

• What is the updated blueprint plan for the structure?

• What are the materials that the client has?
• What are the materials that we still need?
• What are the building tools that we need?
• Where are we going to build the structure?
• Do we need to design it so  it can be disassembled?

C) Items

• What is the final list of interactable items?
• Are the physical objects tinker-able? (do we need to craft a fake one? or use skeleton?)

• Where are we going to buy/source these items?
• When are we going to buy them?
• How much are they going to cost?
• How to theft-proof?

Once everything was mapped out properly, the following two days were dedicated to surveying the items on our shopping list.
