Abstract
Learning experiences included brief development, client and consultant presentations, budget management, collective design and making and project installation. The brief was to provide building and object designs to interpret Tamar River floods (past and future). The student group (45) was divided into 4 teams each with design, construction and management responsibilities. Teams provided critique and feedback daily for each other during the design process. This guided a coherence and consistency for the whole project. Students tested the capacity to bend timber to express the forces of floodwaters as well as exploring ply box beam construction and cantilevers. The site at Home Point being high public profile and riverfront parkland, heightened student ambitions, focus, and design responsibilities. The project enjoyed positive publicity and local praise. This together with commitment to get the job done gave students real experiences in design very early in their architectural studies.
All built elements of the design were completed in the school of Architecture’s workshop prior to transportation to site for connection to engineered footings.
