Putting things together

Presenting and learning from our mistakes

We gathered all the proposals and feedback made to us. They were really good and helpful. With all these things we manage to improve a lot of things in our first design, add new ideas and adjust our plans to those of the other teams. Then we have to make our thoughts clear produce a new drawing so one can get a quick easy and precise idea of how we imagine a city in 2050. Doing all this stuff was a tough but challenging work to accomplish. We discussed our ideas in the group and also consult Carolina and Jago. They were eager to help us and they provided us with lots of ideas and ways to snap out of confusion caused by the challenging project. We had to be really fast so that we can be ready to present our work after lunch. Then there were the presentations. Every group had prepared lots of interesting stuff: drawings, text and images. It was really interesting to watch their ideas developing through presentation and figure out what is the problem they are facing ,where do they find inspiration , what are the solution proposing and most important how all this are taking advantage of smart grid to create presence and trust. When they finish a warm applaud was given by all of us. Then we had to make our proposals in order to improve themselves. Then the professors say the weak and strong parts. Everyone's comments and especially those made by the professors where very precise and helpful. The most important thing is that they encouraged us even if we made mistakes, because I think they don’t want to be afraid of making mistakes but to use them to improve ourselves. Finally we went to explore the faculty of architecture where the infrastructure is great and inspiring for the students .Then we grab a beer at the student’s pub to relax and discuss about our thoughts of what we did and what are we going to do next day.
