Today, we had a group discussion, where we showed what we have done so far in our sketchbook.

 There is a variety of origami's I could make, so I decided to start making origami's based on the pictures I took, whether it is inspired from the shape or form etc...

Random images I took which is used to influence the origami I make

The origami's I folded myself inspired from the rando

The thing that went well was that I gave feedbacks to my peers. This was something I did not do during the pitch. I mentioned about during visits you should take your own photographs instead of using images from the internet. Also, I suggested to someone who mentioned having an interest to organic forms, to go outdoors and take pictures as well as do observational drawings of organic forms such as trees and plants. Then using those drawings and images to roughly create a variety of models inspire by those forms using cardboards or other easily accessible materials. 

The thing I thought did not went well was my sketchbook being unorganized. There were images and leaflets that fell out when I was showing to the group my sketchbook. Next time I should make sure to stick all the images in my sketchbook, even just using blue tack to temporarily secure the images into the sketchbook. 

The advices given to me were to consider the function and scale for my pod. Also, I was suggested to think about the place of where my pod will be located. Furthermore, they told me to think about the materials I will use to make my mode and what method such as laser cutting and 3D printing. Also, I was suggested to carry on making more origami, so I have more to work with, experiment and develop.
