Peer Review 1: Sharchitecture

Team 37 (Sharchitecture) appear to be a very well organised, efficient group in terms of their communication and sharing of work. They have a tumblr blog set up (http://sharchitecture2012.tumblr.com), and have set up a facebook page for their personal communication to share ideas and information. Their work seems very collaborative (working together on tasks instead of everyone doing an individual task) and there is a clear group understanding of their ideas on utopia and dystopia. 

Their images of the site were done at a high standard. The right elevation of the city site was particularly well done, with deliberate and clear links to the short story, displaying their understanding of the ideas behind the story. They had clearly edited and manipulated the photo to relate to parts of the story and there was a consideration of how Holloway may have experienced or reacted to the space.The other elevations and sections were also carefully compiled and show an interesting use of collage and photoshop. 

While their 123D catch was not very successful, their stop animations were done in an interesting way. They explored not only the methods of creating the GIF, but creating a narrative as well. One stop animation included their avatar, creating a story with its movement. The other showed an understanding of creating motion and capturing time through stop motion. 

Their overall presentation was well planned and organised as they had all their work on their blog which created a neat and easy way to see their whole body of work. From their explanations, it was clear they very interesting ideas about utopia and dystopia and it will be intriguing to see how they develop in later projects.
