FINAL PROTOTYPE:

The purpose of this project, was to be able to find a way to make the space easy to navigate, and further, make information easy to understand. For this reason, our map was one that was interactive, simple, and graphic.

Ass explained in the alignment post, we chose not to remove sections of the map to align the roads, as information was lost and readability was compromised. 

In the construction process we printed our map on a selection of stocks, but ended up settling on some coated 170GSM semi gloss stock. This would in situ, be a painted vinyl piece on top of our plywood blocks. 

We then taped every edge to the face of our foam blocks, and did our best to align the blocks perfectly with our metal rods. This was tricky as we did not have access to a drill. We took a needle and measured the centre of our blocks, however the needle was hard to control and we found that some of our blocks were a little bit skew once sitting on our model, however - not notably.
