(AUGMENTED REALITY)

Steven's work was very innovative and the most interesting feature of his design was how it integrated with the site. He made it so that it was similar to bridges over roads, with pillars supporting it in the middle and the sides.  His design was of a showroom displaying pictures and paintings. the facade and exterior material was an opaque-ish white plastic material so that shadows and light could come through - his main idea. His 1:1 model was well made and very accurate. I liked how, instead of being a conventional building on the side of the road with not as much interference to drivers, this showroom forces drivers to realise it and may perhaps even attract more people since it is very bold. Although i feel that the design could have been developed more, especially the interior.

Vasilije's design is located near a train crossing. He incorporated the idea of gifting well in that he designed a space for public - a walkway for train commuters as well as the views from the small box-tunnels. He was inspired by Junkstyle - this was evident on the exterior which was made of bricks, some of which were removedgiving it a rustic look. Whereas on the interior, he had designed a modern glass environment. This contrast was very appealing. I really like the different shapes and sizes of the box-like tunnels that he had incorporate to channel specific views for the public which waiting for their respective trains. Another interesting feature of his was the timetable which was spread out on the facade at different points to avoid the crowding of passengers.
