On Sunday, Sylvan, April and Andrew C. did another site survey in preparation for more detailed design development. The results are being compiled into CAD and tomorrow we will use the laser cutter to print pieces for a new 1/4" site model.
While we were taking measurements at Roosevelt, a very friendly gentleman approached us to inquire about our activities. It turns out that he is the associate pastor for a local congregation that meets at Roosevelt. If I remember correctly his name is Tim. His excitement about our project, and eagerness to offer any help he could, gave us a healthy boost of enthusiasm. We're hoping to have him come visit the dB studio space this Friday so he can get a better sense of what we're all about, and how he and his congregation can help us.
This evening we had a brief meeting to discuss our latest schematic ideas, and work out any kinks with the site survey and model. Jennifer showed us a beautiful 1/2" scale module that combines many of the ideas we looked at last Wednesday. I'm going to post pictures ASAP. She also brought in some photos of creative ways to improve a chain link fence - again photos pending.
April had a provocative site plan that also combined many of the ideas from last Wednesday. It's a south facing U shape, with curved roof forms and staggered overlapping modules. I think we were all very pleased with how our concepts are melding into a more cohesive design.
At tomorrow's general team meeting (5pm, db office) we will have a repeat of last weeks design crit. - a chance to look at some models and drawings and offer feedback. Snacks will be provided to keep our wheels turning.
