Raft Development
Since rafts are usually used when in danger or trouble we have used the raft to symbolize an escape from the Dystopian city site to the Utopian Waiheke site.

The perspective image on the top right corner can either be used as luggage holders or seats/rooms for passengers to hold on to on the raft.
3DS MAX FILE
Proposed material in real life scale for the raft would be wood and a light weight aluminium to hold the raft together.

Vehicle Testing
The first vehicles we've tested have been a glider and a raft, both taking advantage of renewable energy resources- wind and wave current.
Our flying vehicle
Playing around with our first glider.
Testing how our glider's performance holds up outside in its real environment.
Our sea vehicle- raft
Our first trial of two versions of our sea vehicle, a raft.
Floated quite well, even when the natural elements tested.
After talking with our tutors, they've recommended looking into how a kite glides and have emphasized the need for refinement in design and attention to detail when constructing.

Group 23 Review
http://citics101.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/2-vehicles-experience-of-docking-and.html
This group of 2 had done the vehicle workshop. They explored 2 different ideas, a rocket and a lantern.
Their design had a real strong emphasis on digital manipulation. After testing their initial vehicles with seaweed paper and rice paper, models are then used to develop digital possibilities. With the aid of ArchiCAD and Photoshop, they generated a series of images to give a sense of the experience on the vehicles. Rendering is done quite well and the images looks as if the viewers are participating in the journey of travelling between two hotels.
Their Utopian vehicle system - the rocket with its departure, docking and landing facilities shows an innovative method of travelling between the two sites. As shown in the images, the material of the body of vehicle is perhaps metal. They also used transparency(glass) to highlight part of interior of the system. On the image of the rocket in the air, they delivered a real experience of flying up in the sky and looking down at Waiheke Island. The bird-eye-view background fully indicates what it is really like when you are up in the sky.
They also showed their video of how their Lantern flied with the use of fire and air. It compares and contrast with their rocket design quite well. And we think that the ideas of movement and the technical approaches are very successful within their two vehicle designs.
