SESSION 03: SITE VISIT
During our session this week, the group discussed initial ideas regarding which materials will be used in our den construction, keeping sustainability and waste reuse at the forefront of our plans. Additionally, we had conversations with our collaborator, The Common Land Collective, on the plans for our community engagement project, examining how we engineer the engagement to best gather information that will be useful to the process of developing our final designs.
Later this week, our group completed an initial visit to our site in Chelford, here, we met with our collaborator and discussed in more detail their expectations from us and our ideas for the space, such as where the dens will be positioned, what their functions might be, and what other features they hope to integrate into the site. Before heading to the site, we established who would collect what information, to establish an efficient system that helped us collect detailed information to analyse and feed our design process. At the site, each group worked to gather the necessary information which we plan to discuss in more detail in future sessions to support our understanding of the location.
