Update...

Hello Everyone,


this is just an update regarding our site model construction.  


As many of you have seen the base for the model is already in the studio area.  


Many of you already know that an extra $10 per person quantity was required due to the changes in the model.


With the left over, museum board will be bought to place on top of the polystyrene... The tickets with the money spent are below... (Note that some quantities have been rounded in the calculations) 


Everything bought for the base except the polystyrene came to a total of 


$196.00 Dlls


The basswod came up to a toal of 


$199.00 Dlls


The total amount requested was initially $15 each which came up to a total of  $405.00


out of these $405 dlls 


$205.00 dlls used for the base and the other $200.00 used for the basswood.


*The quantities have been rounded in order to give consideration to those who have been using their cars to transport materials for the base.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The amount requested last week was $10.00 dlls.  This, being for the reason that some adjustments had to be done to the base in order to accommodate whoever decides to design underground spaces.


so far the amounts given are as follows:


OGO STUDIOS = 30
VERSA 1 (BROWN) = 10
VERSA 2 (BARAJAS) = 30
VISIONARY ELEMENTS = 20
GEODESIC = 20
IKONYK = 0 
URBANISTIQ = 20
DERIVED = 20
SYMBIOSIS = 30


which gives a total of  $180


out of these $180.00; $95.00 have been given to Patrick for the purchase of the polystyrene.

The polystyrene sheets came to a total of

$93.000 Dlls

(Above, tickets of everything that has been bought so far!.. Click to Enlarge)

As an of today we count with $85.00 Dlls.


once everyone has payed, the amount that we will have is:


$175.00 Dlls 

with this quantity the idea is to buy


a) more basswood if needed.
b)museum board to go over the polystyrene (tentative)


I appreciate everyone's effort (financially) and disposition to make this site model the best possible.


If there is any question feel free to leave it on the comment box.  


As a REMINDER = I STILL DID NOT GET ALL THE LINKS FOR EACH TEAMS BLOG SPOT.  (IKONYK, URBANISTIQ, AND VISIONARY ELEMENTS)


Taking advantage of that I would like to call on a meeting Tuesday in any free time we have. 


The things to be discussed are = 


*Agreement on what material and color to use to cover the polystyrene.
*Coordination on streets sidewalk (will it be shown or not on the model?)
*Logistics of the PM's task to complete the overall model after everyone has built their own buildings to scale.(I.E. evaluation of individual buildings, placing of the buildings and streets needed, etc.) 

Update

We hope that you had a great LONG WEEKEND worth of a lot of work!!!

This is just an update regarding what has been done so far.

During last meeting Paola Muniz received money from the following groups:

Symbiosis = 45 

OGO studio  = 45

Urbanistiq = 45 Dlls

Ikonyk = 45 Dlls

Versa 1= 45 Dlls

Versa 2 = 45 Dlls

DERIVED =  45 Dlls

Visionary Elements = 45 Dlls

Geodesic = 45 Dlls

With the 340 Dlls collected so far; Basswood and MDF sheets have been bought.

-120 Dlls were given to Moises Morales. (This is for the construction of the base, if you can recall, Symbosis and Urbanistiq have this task assigned.)

-180 Dlls were given to Paola Muniz.

Basswood has been ordered and the order detail is as it follows:

During the meeting it was discussed that there will be given 4 sheets per person.  However, only 70 sheets were bought leaving that to an aproximate of 2 sheets per person.  

My proposal is that these 2 sheets are given to each person and in the case of needing more, those shall be requested to Paola Muniz.  She will keep the Basswood in her locker in order to keep track of the basswood we have.

In the case of more material needed to finish assigned areas

  1.These will be provided and the person has to ask only for the amount needed.

  2.If there is no basswood left but money in the overhead, more basswood will be bought at the local store and given to that person.

In the case of the material been misused or inappropriate model craftsmanship

  1.That person will have to wait for everyone to be done and then have the opportunity to receive extra         basswood if there is any left. 

  2.If there is no basswood left, that person will have to buy her/his own basswood to redo the model.

The idea of buying materials such as tacky glue and other materials needed is still being considered.  However, due to the uncertainty in basswood... there might be some glue bought (I.E. 1 bottle per group of 3)

To ALL project managers:  let me know if you guys agree with the logistics that I am proposing and if any of you have other idea let me know!! 

Minute of Project Managers meeting on 1/13/2010

Hello Guys,

In the meeting today we discussed the changes in the model building tasks of some groups.
Symbosis and Urbanistiq will be doing the base intead of visionary elements.  Visionary elements will now do what Symbosis and Urbanistiq was in charge of.  The site model base will be brought in next week.  However, the model building day is set up for the 27th of January.   (This date can be changed)

The budget for the model is as follows:

Base = 120 DLLS
Basswood = 180 DLLS
Overhead =  105 DLLS

Overhead is money left over in case more wood is needed, to buy glue, cork for the contours, etc.

The basswood to be used will be of a thickness of 1/32" and a dimension of 4"x24" which will be ordered online at the latest on Monday.

Thanks to all!!!

Next Meeting

The next PM's meeting will be Thursday.  

Project Managers, please confirm your attendance! 

Minute of Project Managers meeting on Jan 10th, 2011

This meeting served to decide:

• 1.       The scale of the model
• 2.       The area to be constructed
• 3.       Materials
• 4.       And, the areas to be constructed by each team

• The scale will be 1:30 leaving the model to a total dimension of 18.3ft by 4.7ft

Covering the area of:

 (West) El Paso St. to (East) Dallas St.

 (North) Wyoming Ave. to (South) Myrtle Ave.

(Click on Image to enlarge)

The yellow area will not be modeled. (To be tentatively modeled to give a faded effect in the model.)

The pink area will be left to each teams decision to build.

*The scale of the model was consulted with both professors and it is authorized

• The materials will be:

MDF sheets and 3/32x4x24 Basswood sheets for the topographic cork might be a possibility and to be revised still.

• The areas to be constructed by each team will be as follow:

DERIVED = El Paso St. to Campbell St. and topographical contours

Urbanistiq= Noble St. to Newman St.

Versa 1= Virginia St. to Ange St.

Versa 2= Lee St. to Dallas St and Highway

Geodesic= Langtry St. to Lee St.

Symbosis = Noble St. to Newman St.

Ikonyk= Ange St. to Noble St.

OGO = Ange St to Noble St.

Frank Beasley’s team = Base

During this meeting there were 2 persons elected to enact as final vote when there can't be a concise decision on  a particular thing.  For Prof. Barajas class Patrick Ondelacy and from Prof. Brown class Clarrisa Guevara.  Paola Muniz will have the 3rd vote if needed.

Minute of Project Managers meeting of January 5th, 2011

In the meeting three points were discussed concerning the site model.  

1. The materials
2. The scale
3. The area that will be shown

• The materials that will be used for the model is plywood and basswood (if contours needed, cork)

• The scale that will be used is going to be left to the best size. (1:40, 1:50, 1:60 are the tentative scales) the scale to be used will be known this afternoon at the latest.

• The area to be covered is shown in the image below.

(Click to enlarge image)

From North to South =  Montana Ave. to Magoffin Ave.

From West to East = Santa Fe st. to William st.

The next meeting will be held January 10th, 2011 at 10 am

Please be here on time.

In this meeting the group Derived will be present to discuss the ambition that each team has for the project so that design process can start from their part. 

 (The group named Derived refers to: Paola Muniz, Sammy Lopez, and Gabriel Gonzalez)
