Task 2: Business plan discussion.

Action to task: The focus for this meeting was to write up initial business statements and plan for the website. We already set out and agreed that the business plan includes the following;

2026 - we start with proposing singular modular elements to pre-existing buildings

2029 - we continue with larger-scale sections of buildings

First-year, we focus on 3D printing architectural elements and modular adaptations of pre-existing structures. For example, staircases, rooms/annexes, unique features.

Second-year, we progress to full re-purpose of pre-existing structures. For example, industrial to residential.

Third-year, we aim to expand our second-year progress into a full method of our practice.

 As a group we discussed and wrote up the following for the business plan that will go on the website aimed at our clients:

​

In this time and age where we must be considerate of our impact on the wider environment, we as a firm take a minimalist carbon approach, where we consider carbon emissions at all points of production. a key part of combating this is our use of building demolition waste as our primary construction material. we also utilise pre-existing primary structures of buildings as to not produce any new carbon in relation to a new steel/concrete frame building.

 

Task 3: Development of the website graphics.

Action to task: We agreed that we need to take photographs for the website profiles on the 21st of November. Nayeem suggested that the design of the website should have an organised grid layout that links with our business plan. In addition, the meet the team page should be something like the diagram shown below. Vikas suggested that we need to have a group photo and below the individual profiles a feature that lets the user hover over and read information about each person. Seline outlined that we need to think of our previous projects and how we can edit or change certain aspects to make a link to the business plan. Initial logo on the website is shown below and layout, but we realised that the logo doesn’t work for the mobile website and needs changing.

 

Task 4: Choosing past projects to use for the business.
