Thank you so much for feedback and support!

Hi there FutureDesign team. I'm looking forward to meeting you and watching your final presentations tomorrow via Skype! It's so exciting to see how far you all have come in the past month. Good luck and best wishes in your final preparations.

Looking back on your initial thoughts, you have definitely already achieved your goals. Keep up the great work for a strong finish.

Well done, Future Design.

What is the seating capacity of this? It have a very cool design, but sort of resembles a residential house format? (which would be very cool for a school library, but how many students would this hold?)

Excellent use of sketch up. Bravo! Could you provide specific details about each aspect of your design?

Great model and it is terrific that the use of a different study material is helping to evolve your design.

The second floor is coming along and with a little bit of development could be a complement to the ground floor.

Will this space be used for book stacks and a small reading area? It may be necessary to add more shelving to the plan.

Is the glass portion at the exterior above the entrance? What is beyond the wall on the right - another classroom? You could consider giving up some useable space on the second floor and creating a double height space down to the ground.

Fantastic progress. Your entire team should be proud.

When you are assembling the images, pretend that you don't know anything about the project. In this image it appears that there is another room in the back, but from your other image I know this is the second floor. With Sketchup, you can use layers and control visibility. This way you could turn off the second floor.

By placing furniture in the spaces, you have helped the viewer to figure out the different functions. If you added some people it would make it easier to understand the scale of the spaces.

Well done.

We love the idea of having natural light it would give the room a good look. Who would clean the glass every time it gets dirty and how? You should also find companies that make Eco friendly glass.

It is always a great idea to use inspiration images. When you show another project it is helpful to explain to your readers what it is that you found inspiring. By your last comment of September 20 you have finally explained what appeals to you about this and how it could translate to your scheme. This is a great example of critical thinking and analysis. One of the most important lessons is not to simply say 'I like it', but to explain the rationale behind the preference. You do this in your text and I look forward to seeing how you bring this to your project.

Great project so far - keep it up.
