Meeting Review

Hey,

Great meeting today. We heard some really great Ideas for our Environmental Design Proposal and the Interview assignment. Below you will find a list of the things we were brainstorming about. If you feel like you still want to contribute, please feel free to add something to either list.

BRAINSTORMING ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGNS:

· A walkway that's decorated in some way
· Mazes on the lawn near the ARC Center
· Stick Graffiti
· Clusters of trees and making them not look like trees
· Spider webs strung between trees, possibly above passer-by's heads. We could do this near the bridge by Hahn Student Services, at the tall tree near the music center, there are many places. Things could be "caught" in the webs (ie: books, bugs with writing on the wings, bugs crawling out of books, our manifesto.) We could also place cocoons on or near the webs. This idea was favored, so far.
· In the little ravines we could put Arabian Tents and/or Forts. We could do this in the ravine behind the quarry; behind the amphitheater.
· Inside the tunnel in College Ten we could build a forest
· A shelter in the forest, a fort

If you have any more suggestions or are passionate about one of them, let us know. A few questions we need to answer for this proposal are:

· What?
· How?
· Where?
· When?
· Why?

Some ideas on Interviews:

· Tandy Beal (modern dance teacher)
· Don Williams (theater director)
· New and/or Small Business Owners (we could ask about certain ads they use, how they got started, some of the struggles of being a small business owner, and how design contributes fits in to their business)
· Art Gallery Owners
· DANM (Digital Arts & New Media) Building Designers
· Students at UCSC who juggle kids and school work
· Dr. Seth Shostak (Radio Astronomer at the SETI Institute. SETI's main goal is to be the first to detect a radio signal from an extraterrestrial world. Dr. Shostak also hosts his own radio show and we might be able to do the interview as a radio program.)
· Seth Hodge (a stage manager, also he host Comedy Sports in San Jose.)

If you have any more suggestions or are passionate about one of them, let us know as well.

We will meet again at then end of Tuesday's class to decide on our environmental design, and who our pick is for an interview.

See you Tuesday,
Brian
