As the concept for the following exhibition was chosen, my classmates and I have been split into groups of different sectors where we feel most confident working on so I joined the construction team. As a group we started discussing to come up with ideas to construct our four rooms. My part here is to create a list with Adam as soon as the concept for the rooms is chosen, we'll later contact companies for different quotes and if they will give sponsorship.
Until now, what we've came up with is to cover the floor; might it be vinyl or any other material, a feature wall made out of cork, and as for lighting we're interested most in is passing wire through wood and let dimmed warm white bulbs hang down.

During these two weeks, as a construction team we had to split into sub-sections where everyone has a role to gather any information needed. Adam and I had to gather quotations for different materials from different companies. I have contacted Nexos who offer electrical/lighting systems and also SignWarehouse who could supply us vinyl to cover the whole floor surface of one of our rooms where we'll be exhibiting our work.
The rest of the team have been thinking about design proposals as how we'll be decorating our rooms to exhibit what we've been doing during the year. Yet, although we've been split into sub-sections everyone had his say on how and on what our works will be displayed during the ICA festival, so individually we gathered pictures of furniture inspirations (i.e. shelving systems, lighting systems etc.) what we think fits best to build our room and later during our lesson we shared what we've thought about until now with our lecturer. However, as we all agreed and like the ideas we've came up with, we still need to generate visuals to present and agree within a whole class.

Since that last week I've contacted Nexos and The Signwarehouse, these two weeks I've managed to gather quotations needed for lighting and vinyl to wrap our floor. Since then as a construction group we've generated more ideas for decorating our rooms, so as soon as the lists of props needed to set up our rooms I'll contact other shops for the best quotations for the needed stuff.

Room designing though process is going well and since we're planing to section our works i had to contact other ironmongery shops and stationerys so I could get the best prices on; brackets, nylon thread, screws, nails and clips.
