in the meantime, we've got two presentations to prep for:

UNLR - Thurs 4/2

with megan & ben leading the BBNA charge, who can lead assembling the boards for roxbury? we should plan to present them initial concepts and site strategies, with the intent to bring full scale prototypes to Dream Day, Sat. 4/11.

BAC Alley Concepts/Sketches

Schedule/Deadline Updates

(tonight) March 18th> With this DD Deadline, We need to meet until we resolve things to a good degree. I'd say expect to stick around until about 10pm if you can swing it. We will also pass out self evaluations and instructor evaluations to be turned in this coming Saturday to Charles.

March 21st>, Charles and Pax will be leading the class, and ideally we'll be sewing and cutting and ordering things at that point. We need a joint effort to make Saturday our first productive BUILD day.

March 25th> We will have a three hour class, with no scheduled meeting on the following Saturday. However, we will have quite a bit of work to do, and it is advised that the design leads manage the work that weekend for our upcoming deadlines....

Upcoming Deadlines:

• April 1st 6pm - Presentation to BBNA of Green Alley/Green Roof/ UdB Canopy.
• April 2nd - UNLR Meeting in Roxbury to address dream day and show our work informally
• April 11th - Dream Day in Roxbury

****Please let us know if you'll be attending the UNLR meeting (informal community meeting setting)

Notice the depth and complexity that is inherent to these cable net systems. Additionally, I think we need some variation in the membrane sizes.
