MEETING 5 RECAP

Goals for next meeting:
1. decide on a system of modules (how we are gonna break down the 4x8 panel into a workable grid, and how will the smaller parts work/interact--fold, peel, plug, push, pull, etc...)
2. design an infrastructure for those modules (how are they being supported)
3. decide on materials
3. have drawings and/or models to present your proposals

Organize your proposals into the following categories
1. vehicular high-traffic barriers with jerseys
2. pedestrian high-traffic barriers, esp for areas near retail, historic sites, mixed-use
3. cheap barriers
4. green walls--near parks, residential, or maybe even some commercial

Note down costs and materials, and please try to lay them out on 8.5x 11 sheets so that we can print them out when we meet up.

  1. Sorry about not posting the example yet... this is much more complicated than I thought (although the results seem overly simplistic...) Hopefully they'll be up by tonight (Wednesday)

  2. Actually, based off our last meet-up, we should probably just try to fulfill goals 1-3, and really get a feel for what will be cheap/easy/disposable and what will be our big, risky/edgy, potentially expensive (but we'll try not to be) proposal. but don't worry about following those different categories listed at the end.
