Developing a cluster of flats on the block for new renders and to show how my casting system works in different situations

I chose to develop a cluster of cones on the edge of the superblock design as it will show two things,
ONE is access at the top of the block with the flat owners car and how this structure will hold up the superblock farming coned surface.
TWO is to show how the casting method will apply to these cones.

I am not sure how far to go with the photoshopping, do you think i should furniture the internal flat views...

allotment stuff in progress will hopefully illustrate monias story, therefore populate the drawing with people doing stuff. Perhaps do a version to print which is more diagramatical to print smaller with arrows showing circulation paths...

not going to get data back for friday so gonna have to use blogged renders.

Plan for friday pinup:

Use portfolio i have printed and pin up on the wall to the left. To the right project apocolyptic/day routine photoshopped renders next to work, 3to4 images (blogged renders photoshopped) that i can easily flick through. during presentation of flat. I have booked a projector with joel.

This is a section of the metal ramp for the front of my block, i am going to extend this drawing so it is a section of the whole superflat and print it, and pin up just to left of projection. this took me only 1hour so think it is fesable to do rest and even do section accross the other way building on the stepped side pieces section blogged below, just after the renderes.

To make the material smaller you have to increase the amount of tiling in ALL the image refrences the material uses.

Plant research

Plan and section showing a strawberry growing technique where the soil that the strawberries are grown on is raised and covered with a plastic sheet. Holes are cut into the sheeting and the strawberry plants are planted in the exposed soil. I am trying to gather more planting information as possibe for the conditions necessary for growing the plants to get a weight from the necessary soil depth of the block and drainage techniques for the different plants.
