wedding at the peace park!

bobby & nataka's wedding

congratulations to nataka and bobby who were married in the peace park this past weekend! after their years of hard work converting an abandoned dumping ground into the beautiful meeting place we all love, i could think of no better way to honor it's special gravity.

I think these layouts are more accurate to what we're working towards.

a team canopy sizes

so...i checked mike's diagrams against what i had in my sketchbook from tuesday(sorry i didn't sketch out the one we already did), and it seems like maybe the interior dimensions of are off? i think we had discussed interior spacing of 11" (rather than the 15" we used on the first one) and exterior spacing of 15.5" (rather than 27"?) does that make sense?

also...cut sheets for small and fat:

I'm a bit confused on the sizing of the canopies. I think these are our proposed shapes but these are contradictory to what we were discussing Tuesday evening. Let's discuss via email.

week_18

for tuesday, team A talking points were relative sizes (the canopy pictured is our small size), depth of fabric (shown at 15"), exterior seams (sewn for the full length of the fabric?), and amount of fabric used. shout out if i forgot anything
