Week 7

Groupwork Exhibition

In the week after our trip to Porto we had our interim exhibition review. Despite our earlier considerations to the accessibility and interactivity of our work, the review revealed that our work was not communicating our ideas as effectively as intended. Though the website was accessible it was not easily presented in person. Upon reflection, we decided that a physical piece of work was required to show our thinking process alongside the digital website. The resulting 'Master Diagram' details the evolution of our group's ideas as they became refined by our research and developed into clear aims. The infographic would be pinned up alongside our digital submissions, providing a tangible connection between our process and the individual elements detailed in the website.

Global Hospital Visit

At the end of the week we visited Global Hospital on the outskirts of Dundee, to learn more about their approach to designing healthcare infrastructure in low-resource settings. We were able to see a modular hospital that could be quickly constructed and altered depending on site constraints and resource availability, allowing it to be assembled and disassembled as efficiently as possible within major disaster zones while maintaining clinical standards.
