The final days where full of anxiety about the final result (an archive shelf mechanism) from each team.
Using Alfresco I had set up a collaboration website where everything (progress, photos, concepts etc) was logged tagged and stored. Even though I was enlisted at the team number 1 I was not able to fulfil my duties there full-time partially because of the KERNEL side-project and partially for the Site Tweaking.
As KERNEL side-project is concerned, we built 3 realizations of it, with the 3rd being the most interesting. It was a Dexion Cube (1.2m) where a man good sit inside and be isolated from the outer world. The project had some interesting metaphorical meanings and some structural details to be looked into. The Final outcome was so good, it was even modified to become a DJ-Deck for the last night party (which I proudly DJed).
The overall experience of such an event was quite good for any architecture related student or young professional. On the pros where the nice (even strict) program, and the community sense between everybody (I even managed to give a speech on FOS-Architecture!). On the down side I would put the low usage of any digital enhancements (the site i built, other collab software) and the really absent breakfast on the Dormitories of Maich (How the hell are they holding Symposiums there ? :S) :P.
I definitely look forward for the next experience like this
