We have to put it together!!

wed storyboard

hi all

back from cornwall and thinking about the presentation on wednesday

shez and lisa spoke at length to tom about what is expected of the group, and they posted a run down of how the conversation panned out

now it is just a case of putting it all together, to be honest i am still a little unsure and would appreciate another commication on what to do

whatever it will require a lot of work and this needs to divided up to lessen the load

i will find it nye on immpossible to get to greenwich before wed, but will be permanently logged in so will be contactable by cybersspace

Jimmy

Hi

Here are a couple of sketches and a few images that I think are what we are aiming for?? Please tell me if not. This web site has an interesting article about the above sustainable transport (Transby) design

Jimmys Photoshop Plan edit

Hi Jimmy

can you do the photoshop rendered plan correction to make sure the north orientation is not changed....because you have text and photos on it it would be good if you did it.........can you also remove the proposed changes snaps as I think it would be too early in the presentation to talk about proposals but its a gr8 drawing and we need to fix its orientation.

thanx

ambika

ps---never ever change the north orientation ..........its best facing up.........:)

GIS maps ready!

Hi All

GIS survey base maps of the study area are uploaded on mobile me...well still being uploaded........these are big files....any more suggestions ...let me know...........

regards

Ambika

hi there

it was a good session yesterday. thank you all

the crit has been put back by a week so it will be on 13th nov. i hope you have all read shez's email about the storyboard and what is expected of us, we need to work together on this or we will come up short again.

i recommend you read up on the silicon roundabout and london's tech city, i will send an interesting pdf i found on it to you

for the presentation i think it is only fair that those who didn't talk at the last crit give it a go this time, fairness is the key i'm afraid

as you may or may not be aware grant, danny and myself will not be here next week as we are in cornwall, we do NOT have internet access where we are staying so communication could get a little difficult, so i think some tasks should be allocated before we go on saturday, so what i suggest is we sit down together tomorrow and thrash it out

London's Silicon Roundabout

FYI

Silicon Roundabout

See also: East London Tech City

The roundabout at the junction of City Road and Old Street is known as the Silicon Roundabout, owing to the high number of web businesses located in the immediate area, and as a reference to Silicon Valley, California. The term was coined by Dopplr.com CTO Matt Biddulph on Twitter.^[3][4][5]

Amongst the first technology companies located in the area were Dopplr, Last.fm, Consolidated Independent, Tinker.it, TweetDeck, Berg, Trampoline Systems, AMEE, Skimbit, Fotango, weartical.com, Songkick, Techlightenment, Poke London, Kizoom, BrightLemon, Redmonk, Moo and LShift. In 2010 there were 85 startup companies in the area.^[6]

In addition to web companies, several games development firms are located in the area, including Sports Interactive.

On 28 September 2011, it was announced that Google had acquired a 7 story building just off of Silicon Roundabout. There has been no confirmation as to what Google will be using this building for, nor details of any potential job openings in that area at present.^[7]

StoryBoarding with Tom

Hi everyone, Here’s the narrative we developed with Tom. He wants 50 slides from us.

We start with advantage of the site, then the weaknesses, then onto our proposals.

1. Urban development, like property...

The advantages of our development are about:

Location: It’s between Canary wharf & Olympic villiage (SLIDE showing MAP)

Location: it’s got the River Lee (SLIDE – photo)

Location: The transport links are terrific (SLIDE – transport diagram)

2. But it’s not all wonderful

· Lots of dereliction (SLIDE – photo)

· Only permeable to vehicles “

· Type of industry is no longer appropriate to London “

3. To deal with these strengths and weaknesses, we propose a

a Silicon River (SLIDE- Concept Diagram)

The 3 main advantages are:

· They are knowledge intensive creative industries

· They need good transport

· They need a high quality environment, which can be made along the river

SLIDES SLIDES SLIDES BEAUTIFUL SLIDES OF OUR PROPOSAL

4. In 3 years

5. In 30 years

6. In 300 years

Cheers,

Glass Covered Walkway Ideas

Hi everyone,

I've scanned the Majorca Development Project (ParcBit) case study from Sustainable Architecture that Benz recommended that we have a look at. Some pages are more useful than others for this project but overall I thought it would be good to have the whole chapter as a resource for other future planning projects that we may find ourselves in.

The whole PDF is on MoblieMe.

See y'all tomorrow
