We had a pin-up (a less formal review) yesterday to look at our most recent work, which considered changing a system or multiple systems in the city. For our last project, we observed how people experience and interact with flows in the city: water, waste, transport, energy, etc. This past week, we considered how to make a big change to the existing systems as a way to make the city more sustainable and potentially more dense (understanding sustainability and density as connected).
I looked at the idea of vertical gardens as a way to make food REALLY local-- recycling water and waste into food production, being able to see your food being grown, etc... It is still a rough idea at this point, and I may end up going another direction.
After this, I am ready for spring break! phew!
