4. Problems We Had To Overcome
1.The difficulties of resource and information obtaining: There is very limited information available for Taipei Guest House. We tried to collect the information in every possible way. 2. The eleven members belong to nine different classes and two different grades. The available time among all members is just two hours per week, for the rest of the time team members met with the teachers respectively. To make us work more efficiently, we established a check online that everyone had to sign up and report about their works everyday. By doing this, everyone know what he or she and others have to do for the day and how far has he or she and others have done. And it’s even harder for us to arrange the time to interview with the architect. 3. Our visit to Taipei Guest House was delayed for almost two months, for the time we planned to visit during October, 2006 wasn’t capable. The Guest House was closed in that month preparing the national banquet. 4. It took us great efforts to find the architect team that repaired the Guest House, because we mistook the foundation arranging the reopen ceremony as the architect team at the beginning.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
We present our work through designing our website; we wish to make the architecture and story of Taipei Guest House one of a kind in Taipei and even Taiwan.
