Tools

• Adding Flood Mitigation Elements

• Adding Structure Elements (beams, columns, …)

• Giving New ideas about the whole model in different aspect

Introduce

Our roles

Revised Original

Works

The modification of the model

Stairwell and some windows modified

3 rooms added

Revised Original

Flood gate added

New water retaining wall

Works

The modification of the model

• Save more space for the building Original

Works

Change the type of stairs

Revised

Works

Flood prevention concept

Small flood

Without immediate danger

Huge flood

The flood is so strong

Lost the water retaining wall

The first floor is under water.

• Water retaining wall makes

resident unaffected in building

• Water retaining wall becomes

structure protection wall

• To be Safe during flood

• Resident can evacuate quickly

• After the flood, resident can

recover to their normal life as

soon as possible

After the flood :

Cleaning hole

During the flood :

Evacuate platform

Works

Flood prevention concept

Rebuild water retaining wall and flood gate

Before the flood :

Furniture elevator

• Higher wall

• Prevent small flood

• Prevent floating debris from damaging the building if the flood is strong

• More powerful foundation

Works

Water retaining wall and flood gate

Foundation

Patand

• Before the flood

• Simple lifting machine

• This equipment help us to move the furniture and some other

big properties to the second floor.

Works

Furniture elevator

• When the strong flood is slowing

• Use balcony on the second floor as evacuate platform

• Add ladder to make evacuate more safe

Works

Evacuate platform

Works

Cleaning hole

• After the flood, there must have so much silt and some

garbage around the first floor.

• Makes cleaning easier and more quickly

Works

Challenges

Trouble

• Language

• Use New tools

• Cultural and Time zone difference,

different joint time point

• Express our concepts ,interaction

• Unknown problems’ solutions

(technical problems, communication part)

• Information collection

Examples Solutions

Challenges

Trouble

Miss the e-mail,

Team meeting time

Use right tool:

Google group ,….

The first frustrated Vlab2 team

meeting at sococo

Agenda and Record make meetings efficient and keep the order

Add reinforcement work for the

buildingNot doing this part for the building

Some of our adjustments weren’t

adopted by teams

Discuss the reason and thoughts during meeting and through e-mail

Miss the conversations

during the meeting Ask them at appropriate time or

ask them by email

Challenges

Trust :

Need to trust other team and not micromanage

Tech Knowledge :

Need to understand BIM tools before figuring out schedule

Flexibility :

Linear versus in parallel work. (Solid BIM skills supports both)

TimelineCooperation

Week What we do Response

• Contact by Email • Contact by Email

3/11 • Communication problem

• Variation of our quest

• Change the way of communication

“use email and type with sococo”

3/18• Modify model

• Provide some suggestion

• Change room setting

• Accept

“our suggestion”

• Reject

“change room setting”

3/25

• Flood mitigation element

• Change room setting

• Accept

“Flood mitigation element”

• Reject

“change room setting”

• Hope us

“Add Reinforcement”

4/1 • Check final model

• Tell teammates

“We have trouble with

adding reinforcement”

• Only share other new idea in slides

4/8• Share slides

• Send 4D models

• Send their slides

• Meeting skill

• Principles for teamwork

• International collaboration experience

• Mindset change

Conclusion

What we learned ?

Conclusion

Meeting skills

Meeting agenda Meeting record

Preparation before

the meeting

Need someone to

host the meeting and

lead the team

Conclusion

Principles for teamwork

Attitude

Don’t let what you can do or

can’t do limit you

Trying to show your own idea for

your project

Don’t afraid to do more work to

express what you think

Find our own contribution

Conclusion

International collaboration exp.

Email

Long letters

Slower the mind and

concept exchange

Time zone

Culture differencesWeak connection

Tend to use both

Model & Letter

To show our ideas

Easier to let others understand

what we want

• True teamwork

→ question, share, discuss, record and mix wild idea

• It’s more useful to show the what you done than just give suggestion

• Contributions are not just the thoughts others accept , the process of the discussion is also important

• Get one first and chase better quality after then

Conclusion

Mindset change
