well done
some really great ideas
- weaving factory ( to be)
- library underneath market roof
- umpf dance school on the corner
- journey for blind and sighted kids to touch things and listen, cut hill, go under skateboard park, up in the trees.
- growing veggies on top of market, sell them downstairs.
- bring light into market and leave as is.
- cinema and vid editing for skateboarding kids
- bike rental for bmx kids
AND!
one of my co-critics, Tania, from Mexico has told me all about how 'Fraccionettas' work (that is how they call them in her part of Mexico, where Tanya grew up, dont know how to spell it!)
The deal is that in Mexico it is reality that cities grow first by occupation, and with it the services are installed.
So for example the fracciomento has a well for water. Landline has never been installed, so they jumped the evolution straight into mobile phones. Septic tanks for sewage. Electricity is easy, cables are extended.
The developer has to provide a percentage of land to be 'social' (pronounce with hispanic diction and accent - i.e. to socialise, not social in council housing meaning) The area and uses of Social depend on the size of the fracciomento. it might be school, church, cemetery.
It is great that Tanya more or less confirmed our guestimates.
Good job.
I shall try to get her to come over for crit or tutorial.
