Michelle,

The way you presented your ideas is so powerful and overall convincing that I almost overlooked the few shortcomings that is has.

Analysis: Include judements on what you show - what do the circulation diagrams really show: a disconnect/shortcoming (which I assume) or not? Orient all plans in the same way. Refer to the existing programs: that helps you set up your theme.

Concept: The challenge is to condense this to one board. The images of activities/program are excellent and you may eventually need only few select images (model + section) to get your point across. The remaining plans etc will go on other boards.

Very good so far,
keep cracking!

Michelle –

I like the i-phone idea. That is perfect for what you are trying to portray.

I do find it a little funny that the two main elements of your concept are electricity and water. A little ironic, but you have it working.

Great job on the site analysis board.

Michelle-
I like the variety of mediums that you used in your explanation. They each tell a little different story about your idea. While Enno’s comment that it will be hard to condense is probably true, you have a lot of pieces to work with and picking the best will be the hard part. The only drawback I saw was that some of the items are small and fuzzy but that might not matter if they don’t make it to the final board.
Good Luck,
Tim

Hi Michelle!

I really like the format you used for you boards. They read exactly how I think you intended them to. The analytical study on your conceptual ideas board is great. In this case your images speak louder than words and convey your "big idea" clearly.

Great Job!
