During the 5th week of the term, a new activity was scheduled of us in class. The lecturer briefed
us on the new brainstorming activity but this time we need to build the design ourselves from the
concept we have formed later on.
Each group was assigned a random topic to work on; we were given a country and architecture to design.
Our team picked up refugee camp in America, in the future. Every group was given a choice to re-pick if they're not satisfied with their topic.
My group decided to stick to our topic and decided to work on it right away. We scoured the internet

on our smartphones to learn and research about refugee camps and the American setting.
camp. The drawing of the concept did not take long as our ideas were very simple.
The refugee camp is built underground to prevent outsiders and unauthorized people from
finding it. It is self-efficient. There is a greenhouse for food and medicines, a water filtration
system, humidity control machines and solar panels to generate energy. The solar panels on top
of the bunker are spread out and camouflaged as trees. In other words, the refugee camp works
like a modern-day bunker. To enter or leave the bunker, refugees have to take the lift. However,
refugees cannot enter or leave the camp freely as the underground bunker cover will be easier
exposed.
Once done with the drawing, we proceeded to build a 3D concept of the refugee camp with satay
enjoyable, though the limited materials that we can use was a little frustrating.
After a while, we discussed our findings and began to share ideas regarding the design of the
project. We wrote down things we need to take note of and viable ideas on a piece of mahjong
paper. After much a long deliberation, we decided that we can proceed on drawing the concept of the
camp. The drawing of the concept did not take long as our ideas were very simple.

sticks, garbage bags, cardboard boxes, and twine ropes. The process of building the design was
enjoyable, though the limited materials that we can use was a little frustrating.
The lesson was over before we could finish our design. At the end, it looked like other groups
were not done yet with theirs as well. We were told to leave our buildings at the back of the
classroom, continue the following week and get ready for a short presentation about the design.
