Individual Contribution

GROUP ROLE

In Geriambience group, my group role is the designer of livable bathroom. And in order to achieve the project objective, my responsibility in this project is to design the bathroom space and create sketchup model for our bathrooms.

INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION

In terms of individual contribution, the following timetable demonstrates what I've done so far in this project. Due to the particularity of my task, my design and sketchup model should always be finished first and as soon as possible to help our group members develop and test programs. Thus, my individual task actually ended up at week 10, and I helped finalize ducomentation and wikia wepages since week 11.

GROUP REFLECTION

Collaboration is the aim of both this project and this course. For our group, the communication between each member is not that much, however we successfully collaborate everyone's skills into our project. By combining my design and rendering skills, Dan and Allen's 3D and software skills, Mathew and Steve's programming skills, we successfully achieve our group objectives although there's a slight difference from back brief. But more importantly, during this collaboration, what I learned is how to explore everyone's unique skill and how to effectively utilize and combine those different abilities. We might have some issues and misunderstanding during the session, but we counquered them, and these experiences is much important than the knowledge I learned.

Week 10 Progress

In this week, my design part nearly meet the end.

So during this week, I made two detailed drawings abou the sensative basin and toilet to help audience understand how the equipment works.
