Hi all,

As someone who has never participated in a large group build I’m very curious as to how this works.. Could you answer a few questions?

I see the buildings are arranged on large gridded paper, and each team has several reference photographs.

How much “freedom” was each builder allowed? Did the Master builders have everything planned and laid out, or was there a lot of improvisation? For example, the door and window designs, the curved walls.. I’m assuming since there were so many buildings that had to have similar looks everything was completely standardized.. Were there instructions of some kind provided, or were you expected to build to the photographs?

Can you give me a better idea of how the teams were built? For example, were there team captains/Master builders, etc. How were various jobs assigned? How many people were on each building? For example, if I wanted to create one structure of about the size of one of your mill buildings, how many people would be required? Can you have too many?

Sorry if these are obvious questions, but I have no experience with team/LUG building (or anything approaching this scale). I think it would be fun to assign a large project like this to my class (of mostly non-AFOL) but it seems like a daunting task..

Thanks

Darrell
