Hope you will satisfy with above images. this would be the last vision of diagram maps. Let's spend time on view plan, sketch design, and sections etc, lots of works that we have started.
As discussed we need to provide lots of visual material for next week's powerpoint presentation. He are the tasks that each of us has promised to complete:
Simon - co-ordinating and compiling the powerpoint presentation; 'quick-and-dirty' masterplan
Anka - completing new -300 to +300 year schematic drawings (with Jenny); producing visuals and simple model of Recreation Dock
Jenny - completing new -300 to +300 year schematic drawings (with Anka); producing visuals and simple model of the Conservation Dock; producing visuals (and maybe model) of green bridge
Stevie - providing extra photos (see below)
Athanase - producing a bubble diagram of opportunities; producing visuals and simple model of new green space
Lili - sketches of final proposal - housing (done), greenways, mixed-use buildings, riverside and park network
Please post all your images (jpegs please) to the Storyboard folder on Skydrive. I've already posted the written description of each schematic drawing there to help Jenny and Anka.
Can you all check that the photos mentioned below are on skydrive (if not, upload them now):
Anka - vista picture of Canary Wharf; derelict open spaces; poor quality green spaces; sources of noise pollution - airport, pier road; poor social, economic and ecological conditions; poor architecture
Stevie - people around Excel; photos of school; empty places
The 'frog' of the brick is full of water (like the dock) and the rest of the surface is covered with moss. There would have been more moss all around the brick but I couldnt find anymore. By the way, the London Brick Company went into decline during the 1960s after being a dominant manufacturer.
Just a quick note for the A&C bootcampers as follows:
the storyboard was very hard to do particularly as Tom pointed out that we didnt have a final concept diagram (a 'picture' of our idea). After some discussion around the years -300 thro to +300 years we concluded that our +300 year concept is to go back to how the landscape was at -300 years! Almost totally green but with the city underneath. Lili's suggestion was that this could be a 'flowery forest'.
We obviously need to discuss and agree this as a group as soon as possible.
Tom suggested that we try and describe each era in a couple of sentences eg. "300 years ago this site was a wet marsh with a spring line ditch". This, he felt, would help us simplify each of the era drawings (which show the 5 main elements).
Once this is done, we can then create a sentence for each of the storyboard slides to create a strong narrative to explain the rationale for our proposal. Supporting images and graphics will then follow but I really dont think we need all the imagery by next Wednesday and I'm sure we have some of it already.
So at the moment, we have a flowery forest concept that stands for the enrichment of the area in a number of respects (economically, socially, naturally, architecturally).
I hope this note helps. So we need to have our storyboard sentences and some images by next Wednesday but hey dont panic!
Hope you like this cheesy comparison. More model pix on skydrive in the photos folder called 'Concept Model III'. Please note that a further concept model is expected - this is not the final version!!
