Making the Prototype (Fall 2021)
Only supposed to be a pitch and a prototype for a class project, we created a miro board with research and documentation and 1:12 scale 30 X 20" prototype. Little did we know this would help us visualize certain elements we would later incorporate into the full-scale design.

We first created a mood board and from there Julio Martinez 3D modeled animals and the environment
Afterwards we began build which took 1 week

Making the Installation
After receiving a lot of support from profrssors and peers we recievied a grant curtosey of the diversity and inclusion council that helped us actualize a 'slice' of the prototype.
We acquired a space to house our installation we made a rough floor plan in Vectorworks and took note of all the elements we wanted to include
