Let me start by congratulating you on your final presentation - both the posted images and your video presentation yesterday. You definitely should be proud of the work that you produced and the professionalism of your delivery.
In addition to learning how best to work together - valuable lesson for the rest of your careers - but hopefully you have gained a lot of insight into the built environment. A building isn't simply an individual's choice in what looks good to them: it is the result of numerous ideas, concepts, rules, regulations and aspirations. Perhaps in the future you will see your world just a little bit differently.
As we discussed yesterday, something to keep in mind for your future projects, is to provide information for your viewers, particularly those that are not familiar with your school or community. It is essential that simple things such as north arrows, scale markers, and a clear indication of the existing context are all included in your drawings and models. This helps your viewers understand the context for which your proposed design will fit within. Imagine that you do not know anything about the school, and then ask whether your drawings and models can be clearly understood.
Excellent work throughout the project. It is great to be able to look back and see your whole process and how the design evolved and improved. You should be really proud about your accomplishments, and you can take these lessons that you have learned to all of your assignments. Very impressive, well done and best of luck to you in the future.
