Attended all (Absent - Irini and Toby - due to illness).
This week we worked on A1, working on filling in densities. Simon came prepared with a design for the hobbit houses and a sketchup model - detailing the exact placement and spacing of the houses to the north of the site - in order to maximise the housing density.
We started to think about our final presentation - theatrical elements etc.
The housing suggested by Simon, is too steep at present - perhaps we need to think of the context of the area - materiality etc - related to housing design.
- Asked to create a topography map - Simon is in charge of this and creating the sketchup model - to be printed.
- Amy is in charge of the creation of the initial masterplan from today - to provide a layout for Simon.
- Janelle is in charge of repositioning the original circulation and transport maps.
- Elizabeth is in charge of creating a comparable refined - before and after masterplan - more like block zoning plan at this stage, than a refined design masterplan.
- Amy and Elizabeth are in charge of the ppt - but this may be filtered to Irini and Toby.
- Janelle is also in charge of creating the concept diagram and soundbite (refining).
