Tutorial 1

This is our rough sketching of the idea that we have came up.

From the pictures above, we can see that there is a dome shaped solar panel on top of the HDB flat and a stem( centre point ) is supporting the solar panel.

The solar panel is moveable. What does it mean by moveable? It meant that, the dome shaped solar panel will move gradually according to the sun's movement so that the solar panel will be able to capture the sunlight throughout the day.

Why do we use a dome shaped solar panel instead of using a flat solar panel which we normally see it in our life? It is because a dome shape is round and it can capture sunlight more easily as compared to a flat solar panel. We chose a dome shaped solar panel is also due to the fact that it is hardly seen in our life. Isn't the design creative? :D

Why is it hollow? It is because for people to "lepak" on top of the building. Haha, of course not.
Firstly, the COST. It will be costly if we are using a solid dome shaped solar panel.
Secondly, for LEISURE. People will be able to go up to enjoy the breeze and maybe fly kite( just joking!)
PS: there will be railing to prevent people from falling off the building
Thirdly, the LOOKS. Its quite nice to have a hollow shaped dome instead of a solid shaped dome( in my opinion ).
