Where to start!

Ha ha ha, I totally forgot to explain what to do on the last blog entree, Sorry!

anyhow, I think the best way to start off is to research on the population. As we discussed in class, the population within DownsView is very important, and it can determine how well or how bad the build forms work. 

  • Therefore, we have to research on Who would go for a townhouse (eg. 2 person family, 4 person family or is it single parents) 
  • Who would the people be, is the townhouses consider upper class, middle class, and is so why?
  • Also, (if people have the map that Ian gave out during class) how would the townhouses be placed on the park? "if you don't have the map, I will try to upload to the blog, if not blast me an email and I can send a digital file to you"
Those should be some good places to start, try to post up some info onto the blog itself so everyone could see. Additional information is definitely appreciated!!!! 

Hope this helps Guys

and yea... if this doesn't help blast me some more emails :)

P.S. !!!! Should read comments if you don't already! it will help you I swear!

Good Job Guys!!

Hey guys, thanks for the good work today, I think we are heading towards the right path. Its great to know that we set the class standard :P So keep up the good work!

Alright, so next week, it would be great every one could bring in bits of information that could help out with the initial planning. It would even be better if you guys can post stuff up too on the blog (ie websites you find that are useful) 


Just a recap for those who have missed out on today's class:
  • We are basically brainstorming and gathering any information related to build form.
  • We have isolated one section (the townhouses) to be our main focus 
  • We are "kinda" branching out towards our own field of work (ie, illustrators working on illustrating  the overall layout etc etc.) But we need more planning on that.
If there is any questions just post them up or email me at:
Tiratos@gmail.com <-- I do check daily

Thanks again guys

  2. How will your approach and concept benefit the community?
  3. What are some specific issues or elements related to the design of "Build Form"?
