8am, Saturday the 21st of April, I was greeted at the gate of the Polytechnic by 3 eager students that will start thinking about the design for Lydia’s new home. Just a short stop on the way to the site to pick up the fourth element and the team is now complete.We went to see the site and they were quite keen to start sketching and measuring… But as they had first told me that they had little time… we had not come prepared.
However enthusiasm was high and the ground did well as a sketch book and my trusty 5mt tape measurer sufficed in today’s need… 5 mt diameter rondavlos and aprox 4.8 link was the original build.
We discussed the benefits and disadvantages of rebuilding exactly “as was” and the ways in which we could expand it. It was also a good opportunity for them to have a first chat with their client Lydia.
We agreed that we would have to explore various types of situations and that then we would come back to discuss them with her.
Lydia and the children where moving around bits and pieces in the container so maybe there’ll be enough space to after manoeuvre and start the work on it next weekend.
Since we were so close to the other site I decided to go and show it to them so that I could have their opinion? They were all in agreement that it was the worst built building they had ever seen!
It would be a laughable situation would it not be a serious problem. Fortunatly we’ll start work on it Monday before more parts of the front slab settle…
