CS/AT-Marching orders???

Werner,

Since getting back from the intensive, I have focused primarily on details and systems. As I look at the clock, quickly winding down, I realize that time is growing short enough that I don’t really want to revisit my plan much. I would like to reuse the plans that I have already presented, with minor modifications as needed, and focus the remainder of my effort on the systems, details, and presentation material. Furthermore, as flawed as I know my design is at this point, I don’t have too many comments from the review to help me refine the design.

So, I just wanted to run that by you. I would like to reuse most of what I presented at the intensive, and spend the next 2 weeks focusing on the other stuff. Your thoughts? Will this be satisfactory???

Also, Karrick had a great idea in creating a new blog solely for the final presentation. Is this something that you would recommend for the rest of us? I personally think that it would work well.

Peter,



I do not expect anybody to overhaul the work they already completed, as long as it meets the final’s requirements.

Your parti works well, with your minor modifications (?) you should be all set, unless you need to make adjustment because of the systems.

The pieces you still could work on is are the ground plane: usability with fountain, main entrance, connection of exhibit space to front plaza and back yard. The hanging boxes that do not house sleeping area need to have a different expression (the open balconies could become more open boxes?), detailing the screen wall.

I don’t think a separate blog is necessary; the reviewers will go thru your semester blog and either look at the final postings on top of the blog, or clic on the final blog URL. In either case some will go back and look at progress in your semester blog.
