Today is the new group’s first visit to the site and first time meeting the staff. We have been preparing plenty of material to get the best faculty and student feedback to finish the design. I, personally, am very excited to see what the student engagement is like, especially with the idea of preserving their kickball ‘field’.
The image above shows the ideas we pulled from the previous ‘wants’ list and combined it with a few other ideas we (the new kids on the block) thought could work. The challenge is trying to incorporate everything we need into the existing structure that was designed last semester, so it does not alter the existing drawings. The returning students have been diligently working on getting the CD sets updated and ready for submission at the end of this week, hopefully. We have a lot of goals to accomplish today with the visit and hope have the remaining of our design questions figured out !!
On a separate note, David’s Intro to Craft class last night had some successes (in the Wright brothers sense) in flight of our Kites. Some took more of beating than others, but only one kite needed minimum to no corrections on site to fly, and it was the only one made out of garbage bags ! Very resourceful, very effective.
