Design Report?

How did everyone find the design report yesterday?

Religion Goes Green

The function of my building is a food market followed by a cafe.
Then above this is a lecture room to teach adults about the economy and a large classroom for children to learn about farming.

The religious idea came in because I wanted the building to be a central core which brings society together and also for them to see farming and a new currency like how people see religion.

Outcome of this- I didn't want my building to literally look like a church but the plans are influenced largely by those of a church.

inner city living in Manchester

centreforcities.org recently released a valid report on the state of Manchester inner city environment.

Have a quick read

Hey guys thought I'd let you know about a good little site. It's a publishing website with a very good user interface that allows you to compile a portfolio from certain file types. Thought it may come in handy this year for mid term crits but more importantly when you start applying for jobs this summer and need quickly allow your perspective employer to gauge your levels of competency electronically instead of having to send them your portfolio prior to an interview.

Just a thought.

Keep it real
