Class Meeting Reveals Remaining Loose-Ends

On Thursday, October 29, at least one member from each group in our class met in our studio to discuss the direction the project has taken. Our Project Management team organized the meeting in order to discuss where we are in the project, as well as the pace at which it is getting there. Once everyone was alert and in-tune with the meeting, ideas began to fly. We realized that although the design is where it needs to be, there are still small decisions that need to be made prior to calling the design complete. For example, none of us were anticipating that the number and the placement of doors would be a difficult decision. However, as soon as enough thought was put into the issue, it was realized that door placement in this particular design is highly important. After deciding on a door scheme, we discovered that the appearance of the doors is just as important as their placement, and so our Physical Models and Mock-ups team is currently critiquing door design ideas via small-scale models of H's Stage.Other issues brought up in this class meeting include, but are not limited to, the siding material and layout that will be applied to the structures, the placement and function of a concession window, means of egress in case of fire, and how to really incorporate local materials/appearance so that when H's Stage is brought into Valle Crucis Park, it looks as though it belonged there all along....That's all for now...keep checking up with us!
