1ST WORKSHOP WITH THE DIPLOMAS

Thursday and friday last week we had a group workshop; discussing, drawing, sketching...trying to pinpoint something of importance to our projects, which can be hard to do... Clearifying your project without all these words!!

The key words (for my project) after the discussions are;
TIMELINE / SCENARIO
ECO-FOOTPRINT
THE PHYSICAL

They need further development but these are the sketches made as the background for my project (so far);

  1. hey laura, good to see that you are starting to clarify your project!
    a few comments:
    - LOCAL PROGRAM and DENSE
    instead of putting general terms like work, home, recreation... here you could look at your research on sustainable living and propose how these activities (recycling, using storwater, growing food etc) can generate work, play, living etc on your sites.

    - why not use the "The Heart of the City and Strawberry Creek at Center Street Project"as a model and apply it to your site to analyse its potentials here. use this to develop your program:

    #Create opportunities for people to gather and engage in civic life and activities
    #Encourage and support buildings that utilize sustainable design principles, including solar energy, rain and stormwater catchment and treatment, and other “green” design practices
    #Increase current City stormwater capacity
    #Automobile dependence and transportation alternatives
    #Pedestrian streets, public space, and street design
    #The need to demonstrate effective ecological design, materials, and methods
    #Education and outreach to the community
    #Advanced and innovative watershed and stormwater management models
    #Sustainable public infrastructure improvements
    #Linkages between environmental restoration and sustainable development

    - stick to your local footprint, bergen rain/ stormwater, light rail/ less cars, walkable/ bikeable distance to kindergarten/shops/ activities, local gardens/food/seeds/actionism ideas and dive in!!!!

    look fwd to follow!
