If you hadn't already heard, there's a lot of work involved in studying. The time taken to lean and regurgitate the information seems to be insurmountable, but at the end it works out ok.
Our main assignment (report) was in conjunction with Engineers with out boarders, a group that apply university level students at real world problems. The site was at a place called Bendee Downs, located in Queensland South West. We had to create a "Eco Tourist" resort, which in my mind is still an oxymoron. The report it self was broken up into different areas, being a cultural centre, camp sites, walking trails and star gazing. Other activities included spear throwing, boomerang throwing and story telling. I felt uncomfortable about dictating the activities that to me seemed culturally insensitive, what is to say that one activity is appropriate over an other.
I also saw difficulties in sitting buildings, as I felt their had to be a spiritual map that showed areas that had significance in the landscape. Other difficulties where transportation, as flying or driving there was a negative aspect. We added to the idea of creating a adventure trail, or package that would end up at the site. The site also had two air strips, both that needed maintenance.
The overall strategy of the assignment, and the presentation where both executed by our team fairly successfully and was good to end on a high note. Just wished I had a bit more time to work on a few other features.
