peter reminded us about the immigration. 


Crossing Over, and Over

Migrant shelters along the Mexican border are filled with seasoned crossers: older men and women, often deportees, braving ever-greater risks to get back to their families in the United States — the country they consider home.

- didnt get very many questions
Florian: Wind load, foundations ( I knew that would come up, as I was fixing them last minute) 
Patric: you brought the modernism together. (I have to confess I did not understand that theoretical comment, but it did sound interesting) 
Robert was laughing at my brill visualizations (I was not surprised, they are slightly hilarious) 

overall - too fast to explain much, prezi was not a success. Project was :) I thought.
