Well rested (!), Day 02 started at 8am on site… here’s a quick summary of how our concept is becoming an ‘augmented’ reality.
We started the day by marking out, in real space, the parameters of our design – physically orientating and positioning our design, to truly understand the movement corridor we were trying to create and the vistas we want to emphasise and align within our urban intervention. By developing our conceptual design in ‘real space’, and as a team, this exercise bought swift unity and confirmation of: module sizes, angular forms, path widths, view corridors, massing, scale and overall site coverage.
It’s worth reinforcing that the time we have spent working and developing our ideas on site, have afforded us numerous interactions with the public, and today was no exception, as we met another local resident, Sally, who was encouraging in her understanding and interpretation of our concept.
Following refuelling in Shed 4… the afternoon brought a 3d graphical realisation to our design, whilst the finance team started to budget materials and understand the cost implications of our idea… safe to say, we were well over our $2500 budget! As Day 02 has progressed, the design has become increasingly focussed and refined in response to: budget and cost margins; narrow time frame for construction; and the structural limitations of the site.
We’re now under construction… more to follow soon!
