Dear Friends of Ivory Park,






together we can, is a good way of putting it!
WE CAN, this has been more than demonstrated!!

It was great to see, all of you, working together and building the classroom,
and if we consider where we started and what difficulties we had,
an amazing job has been done, CONGRATULATIONS to all of us!!!

and the good news is that through this workshop, we had the possibility to
define all details for the timber structure and we are able to
produce the final drawings for the building site!!

Giorgio and Lollo just finished to take some pictures
of the structure at Morion, and they will add them to our blog,

Chiara and Gaia have translated the presentation into italian,
for better communication with italian sponsors (please send soon!!!)

Annika has translated the documents for medical info and
the liability document which I will send out to everybody soon!

so, in this way everybody is more than busy in trying to get more money
and help to make the project happen as planned!!

best regards and speak to you all soon,

dustin

design guide lines

another intense working phase




we met before christmas in vienna to continue our work and discuss our aims on social and ecological issues. we had a guest from the african studies aswell and some good news from italy for the 1:1 workshop which will take place end of february in venice IUAV.
we fixed design guidelines and foundation plans. the design changed a bit to reduce the amount of wood and using more local technics like bricklaying.
a big issue is the landscape stripe program that will mesure the water, provide semi private playgrounds, meetingplaces and shade.
