Knowledge

Knowledge according to the Oxford English Dictionary, can be defined as

"expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject."

This definition can then be integrated with our project of designing a map with UT3 editor. In order to design the map we need knowledge and information, such as, what are we designing? what programs are to be used and what jobs will people be allocated. To decide on this, peoples expertise must be known such as what programs they are familiar with.

Knowledge for the UT3 project comes under different topics:

• Designated Building (what building will be modelled?)
  
• Preferred program for design (UT editor, Revit, 3d studio max)
• Allocated jobs (design, modelling, textures, sound, etc)

After several group meetings our group narrowed down the options between two buildings.
Playa Blanca Wildlife Interpretive Centre found by Jennifer and a Market-rate housing in Brooklyn NY, found by Min. We then decided to model them up using different engines.

I started modelling Playa Blanca in Revit and Joel started modelling the Market-Rate housing in Brooklyn on the UT engine

After much thought and discussion we decided to go with the Marketrrate housing in Brooklyn which Joel was working on. We have been working mainly on the massing of the project and estimating the general shape of the building. We will be using the UT editor to create the building of the Market-rate housing.
