people - place - event

I thought it would be helpful to establish a web of the ideas floating around since the beginning of the term. The list above is brief but it includes many of the important subjects that have come up. Between the the three merging concepts of latex castings, foundations and the narrative, all three are starting to come together towards an architectural proposal.

To make an architecture work their was mention of three things that need to occur: people, place and event. It is obvious that these things are needed, but one can only understand it when they experience it in their own context.

I think it would be really great if the proposal for the place remained amongst the trees, specifically in the area where it is highlighted on the map near the railroad bridge. Near the bridge, the experiments thus far with the stretching of the latex like a canvas and inquiries into the meaning of foundations (through the act) has lead me to imagine a canvas being stretched between the two concrete pillars beneath the railroad bridge that can act as communal outdoor theatre (event). The seating would be built in the trees around the forts of Sabrina's play and Clearwater and other local towns would be able to come together and enjoy movies or perhaps the forts during the day. Maybe there could be a big tree trecking/zip lining complex during the day and theatre by night! It's a bit out there, but I think it would be amazing to have a huge projection on the railroad, the very same thing that the town was founded on!
