For next week

For next week we agreed to:
1. Look at one aspect of climate each:
  • Rainfall - Vicki
  • Sun Angles - Silas
  • Wind and Temperature Variations - Daniel
We'll each post this info on the blog.

2. Record our response to the site.

3. Draw up a design considering the following points that we have talked about:
  • long thin building
  • individual pods acting like a little city
  • separate bath-house
  • roof garden with native grasses
  • dip in courtyard to catch all condensation
  • rammed earth/glass/steel
  • strong low horizontal lines
  • digging the building into the earth

These are just ideas to jolt our memories, not to constrict our design process.

Chair for week 1 was Vicki. Daniel was minute taker. Roles will be rotated each week.
