What I have learnt from these projects: big conceptual ideas with amazing rendering stands out. Presentation is extremely important. To succeed one must 'go all out' with an idea - and make it interesting. 

What I'm going to try to do for this project: 
make the water more dramatic 
focus more on renderings that display the dramatic power of the water and falling bikes
use light in an innovative way 

Advice from Russell - have variation with the water (different depths etc.) 
Also consider including water in different states - steam, liquid, ice


Water in architecture: inspiring images





Some more architect discoveries:
Peter Muller - architect who incorporates nature into designs
