The Slovenia + Puerto Rico Collaboration Project was a group effort from students of both countries to produce a Community Center as a solution for two locations, respectively. Both classes were divided into teams, with two students from Slovenia and two students from Puerto Rico working together through the internet (via Google Hangouts and Facebook).
The members of Team Tarantino were:
Mateja Urbancic
Polona Meze
Jose Sosa
Alejandro Jahiatt
The process of design was taken care of by the entirety of the team, while the labors of visual representation (CAD drawings, perspectives, diagrams) were distributed evenly.
