MEETING7 RECAP

Most Recent, practically final decisions made on our Panel Design:
1. BASE: cinder block or metal bases, holding 8' steel-channeled (2"wide?) posts, spaced 4' apart 
2. FRAME: (inserted into the channels), a pre-drilled, plywood frame, gridded into 2'x2's.  (see Jesse's post on "utility of the grid")
3. MODULES: 2x2, 2x4, and potentially 4x4.

our proposal will be focusing on the modules, and how these modules are flexible, versatile enough to offer a whole variety of program that can address/mitigate construction issues.  (How can modules create program/event versus this program and that program will create these modules....Did I get that right, Dave and Jesse? please edit/clarify if needed!)

GOALS for this WEEK (just 2 weeks left!!!!) :
1. finalize on what these modules will do
2. materials and costs and how to assemble/disassemble
3. mock board and potentially some final drawings/renderings

Assignments:
group: make any final design decisions on module actions and tectonics
Amanda: material cost research, once we've decided on all our materials (we just thought you did a good job last time)
Dave: Sketchup model of panel design archetype, and its variations
Jesse: Final Renderings, mock board

Other assignments:
text: someone who's awesome at writing
diagrams: (panel assembly, the grid, etc) and we'll have these try to follow an aesthetic similar to the final renderings.
