| In year 10 I did a subject called Visual Design, where we had to design a museum on Google SketchUp and then create a model. My model was built out of MDF, veneer and perspex, and was situated with a harbour view, hence the big glass window. We spent 1 semester designing the model using SketchUp, and the second building it in our tech labs. |

Falling Water was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, and was intended to be used as a holiday house for the Kaufmann family. It has since been regarded as one of Lloyd's greatest works. The project went over budget, totalling at $155,000, equating to around $2.6 million in 2015, after adjustment for inflation.

| At the end of 2015 I went on an immersion to Nepal with 10 other school friends of mine, which was centred around relief work both in Kathmandu and in the Himalayas. Here we are helping to build a house in the town of Tipling. The bricks were made out of sandbags filled with dirt, which would be paddled into the shape of bricks and held together with barbed wire. This earthbag construction method would be used due to the difficulty of obtaining materials and equipment in the mountains. The complete house would be made by hand. |
