So on this day, we came back to the lab and continue doing where we left of last week. We asked for some further advice from our lecturers, Ron and Lin Yiew, if there's any better solution they can come up to solve some of our problems we have been dealing with such as the light cannot pass through.

Lin Yiew thinks that instead of putting all the lights all over the building, putting the lights only on the top part of the building, where he suggest would be 3D printed, is a good solution to avoid light blockage inside the fabric. We agreed and took this to consideration.

After the talk, Ron provided me a smaller barometer - to test it out with two different enclosed mediums - balloon and sponge. They both work however the balloon would need some refining for the construction of our building designs. So I had to discuss this matter further with my partner.

We had quite a long conversation back and forth and we decided to work during Saturday to come up with a fixed design that we are going to use for our early prototype.

It was raining at that time. We decided to come in the lab and made a 3d model version of our project.

For the whole weekend, we discussed and drew a few sketches that could serve as an early blueprint for our project. This is us figuring out the size an design of the base. Even though we have rectangular base in sketch, we do prefer the 3d model version when we explored cylinder works much better. 

And the 5 buildings. KL tower,  Petronas Twin Tower, IB Tower, Musem Negara and Sultan Abdul Samad.

And we had confirmed our material for squeezing -Sponge.
