Unfortunately I missed today's part of the lecture series, and an interesting discussion about cities from the guest lecturers. However I have seen the online podcast and managed to get a few pieces of the guest lecturer answering students questions. The questions revolved around privately owned public spaces, areas that were required to be returned to public use but don't follow public area rules. In this discussion it was mentioned that private refers to customers with public refers to citizens.
I also learnt a great deal about what can be analysed in a city using Luino in Italy as an example. Project #3 was also discussed as next week there will be no lecture because of the city exhibition and project #2 due date.
Project #3 is a Student Negotiated Assessment that is due in week 14, we are allowed to remain with our Project #2 city choice or we can email Mirko (between the 1 and 5 of May) and ask to do Brisbane city, which is what I might do.

Project #2
This week our group needs to basically have the entire piece of assessment completed prior to the weekend. I've been left in charge of assembling the poster and considering a layout for the report, while the rest of the group works on constructing the model in J block this Friday.
The poster layout has been rather difficult to assemble due to the various sizes that are needed for certain elements and the amount of text from the report, as well as a general lack of time due to group members not sending their contributions. Another major issue was trying to enlarge the images without causing too much distortion in the process. The completed design can be seen below, this was printed and placed on a panel ready for the exhibition on Monday.
Reflections
This week has been a nightmare, I have two other pieces of university assessment due as well as numerous rostered days at work, I've emailed the team regarding my concerns and hopefully Friday we can help each other complete the report and model.
One thing I regret about this assignment is not having most of the major components finished or drafted prior to tutorial sessions. If we were better prepared we could have received valuable feedback from Helena on our images and report. As it stands I'm rather worried about the content of the poster which is basically worth 80% of our marks for project #2.
