WEEK 55

It has been a while since we last posted…so lots to catch up! First off, a long overdue thank you to everyone that contributed to our fundraiser during Mental Health Awareness Week! We reached our goal of $20,000!!

Since then we have had many pin-ups, some filling in Andrew on what the team has been up for the last few months, others with friends of the studio that come by every year, updating them on how the project has changed since workshops last year. At the same time, we are starting to split our time between site and studio; we have removed more debris, pulled weeds and covered the ground with a 40′x100′ tarp to keep those pesky weeds out…

Some of you might remember the “Huburger” from last year’s Halloween Review, this year the team decided to be game Pacman!

This past week we geared up for our sixth mock-up, which consisted of testing the height of the screen on site. We rented 2 scissor lifts for the day and recruited our friends, Sarah and Michael from 20kV22 to help us out. The test was incredibly helpful for us to understand the scale of the screen in relation to the building, how we anticipate people perceiving the space and what feels comfortable. The biggest takeaway from the mock-up was that 26 feet is too tall in relation to the context, so we are considering the benefits of lower heights for the design.

Tune in next week to see some steel in action!
