_final outcome

the end is near, or this is just the beginning?...

SUMMARY

Successful or not I tried my best and gave all my energy and love into this project. Yes, many things have to be improved, but so far this final exercise has taught me a lot not only about digital fabrication but also about time management (which I still need to practice...), patience, being tired and sleepy but always careful when using equipment; adapting the tools and machines to my needs; stress management (also a long way to go to practice); how to find our own solutions and answers to questions, and most importantly self-awareness about our own capabilities.

This project is for my shanghainese cat Mirru the idea is for her to access home with a special key (a tag) that enables the opening only to her and no other cat/animal can enter her/our house.
The entrance is not only a door but a shelter for her where she can rest, chill or protect from the weather.

I tried to integrate as many tools and topics learnt throughout the FabAcademy as possible.
