Over the weekend, we built a 1/4" site model so that we can begin modeling our ideas at a larger scale.
In studio today, we took a field trip to BRING where we bought 4 recycled steel drums to experiment with. We also brought some bamboo into studio so we can get a feel for its height and shape.
Our first team meeting was held today. We spent the majority of the time exploring new design ideas. To avoid bamboo overload, we discussed the idea of limiting the use of bamboo to the barrels and details, such as door handles or railings or other small elements. We talked about using a "woven" pattern for the roof and walls of the covered area. This woven element would wrap around the edges of the building and might include an accent strip of lighting, color, vertical garden or other unusual material.
Schedule:
Tues., 1/13: At 10 a.m. tomorrow, we'll start working on a model of our next round of schematic design. Please come by Pacific 218 if you'd like to help!
Fri., 1/16: We plan to have a full set of schematic design drawings for Friday. If you'd like to work on these, please let us know.
Fri., 1/23: We need to have a revised set of schematic drawings and models by this date. We'll keep you posted on how you can help.
Within the next week, we also hope to start experimenting with materials. We want to see what we can make from the barrels. Once we have a time and place established, we'll post it here.
