Model of flats scale 1:50 using foam cutter.

This model is made from blue foam and models the space in the flats. It is a very accurate model made using the foam cutter from previous blogs. Was thingkin of adding to the model with clay to build up the space.
Tutorial with monia realised i had not built enough of the cone to get enough information about the flat to begin to add stuff and develop the flat, so gonna continue with the blue foam and start adding to the flat when i know the full parameters.

Comparing generic housing block with Superfarm.

Both buildings in red show 42650square metres of housing space, equivalent to approx 400 appartments.

The total size of the site is 39300 square metres.

The Superfarm provides the same amount of appartment space and also provides as much agricultural space as if the site was given over totally to agriculture without appartments.

First version of framed concrete structure for block.

CRANING IN THE PREFAB CONCRETE CONES.. HMMM... although this design for the structure takes the crane idea into account this is unlikely to be fesable for a piece of concete structure at 20x20 metres but developing the structure this is just an initial idea.

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.
