Crit 14/04

brill externals: Kieran, Hanna - former tutor of FREE UNIT, Raoul - Chora unit, Cambridge tutor
decision time






What I had: 



Mexico (above)

 
 


Pliny Ville, Las Lomas, Tx (above)


 
 Villa Hermosa diagrammatic proposal (above)



Feedback - as far as I remember:
(notes coming later) 


- Hanna: I buy the Pliny idea - that you take things out of the CMPBS and plant them at the Las Lomas. Thats great. What I dont understand is why are you dancing around the architecture desighning these super technological cooling towers. Why arent you bolder and do a proper building there? 
R.M. it is primitive the towers. 
Cambridge tutor: the temperature drops only a few degrees underneath the towers, is it worth it? 
R.M. Iam waiting for you to start working together with Marta. 


so 
DECISION TIME - STAGES
- I shall focus on Las Lomas/ Pliny Ville
- do a stage design, with the first stage super DIY simple - to hold a reminiscence of setting up a new factory in a new subdivision - the importance of public space, the marking could be relatively temporary, to be replaced by more permanent public structures. say timber poles replaced with lamp posts. 
- reduce the number of actual cooling towers for the initial stage. make it SIMPLE
- put initial cooling towers strategically, so that they can be grown around with caliche thermal mass
