Formwork:
As I am making a model using acrylic/ plastic sheets, the first thing I have to explore is the formwork.

From the video, the formwork needs holes as well for the vacuum machine to work. I am planning on doing some early formworks and test out if the costs isn't too high.
This is the shape that I am going to test my formwork.

Im going to test out the vacuum machine first as my design has yet to be completed as well.
Design concepts additions:
From midterm, one of the idea that was discussed is whether we should stick to the cave, watering hole, campfire and my pathway proposal strictly . Therefore, I want to propose a change to the idea as follows.
A. Cave
B. Watering Hole
C. Campfire
these spaces should not exist in isolation, but together as follows.
AB Cave + Watering Hole
AC Cave + Campfire
BC Watering Hole + Campfire
This would provide the framework for my designs for each area on the site.
Also, I have been looking into a strategy to properly design a space that could be a cave (quiet etc) but still be integrated as a watering hole/campfire (where people could still gather). Up to now, this is my design experiment. This is a design that I would like to look into...

Basically the idea is that vertically, the boxes are isolated and therefore being a ''cave''. On the interior, each of the box or ''caves'' might not be isolated but likely to be linked together. This solves the idea of combining CAVE + CAMPFIRE/WATERING HOLE
