Week 10

Lecture / Tute

Lecture notes and Quotes:

"we create an experience not just a building"

While I'm considering this project I need to be thinking about the experience of the residents of Woodfordia not just the physical aspects of planning and buildings. What will it be like for them?

"we need to think about where we are from and where we are going to"

Place Making:

when talking about designing for educational buildings: "Made into a social experience not so much a cold place of research"

How much (personal) space do the residents need to live?
Typical 1 bed dwelling size?   - 60m 
Typical 2 bed dwelling size?   - ___m
Typical 3+ bed dwelling size?  - ___m   (families/share house?)

We should: "reflect on where we are now, where we have been, and where we are going"

Focus in the sequence ie. 
-How do you get there
-What happens when you get there
-What happens next
-Where do you go after



Note: Keep it simple, Simplicity is Bliss


Tute:

After having a lengthy chat with steph this was his feedback: He said that while it was encouraging that I had done a fair amount of work since last time, I still had a lot more ahead of me. Great :(

Things to look at for next week:

1. What will be the population of woodfordia, permanent, semi perminant residents and daily visitors
- Woodfordia's recod crowd is 27,000 attending
- 15,000 people stay on-site

2. What is the Festival structure? How is it integrated into the Woodfordia village

3. Is there a sense of community? how do you create one? 
- Terrace idea okay, however, soil is not good and the type of trees are not good for gardens.
- Pattern idea good, maybe incorporate produce markets, meeting points
   - Look up A Pattern Language

4. If Woodfordia is going to be an Educational Centre is there a Workshop environment?
I said that my idea was to teach the residents everything from farming their own crops to growning their own bamboo and wood, milling and treating it, and then constructing a community with it.

How is this done?
Can this be a part of the festival?
