Programming for Horticultural Urbanism

We have at our disposal a 320 square foot vessel which is capable of activating additional area, both adjacent and distant. The vessel has height, minimally nine and one-half feet (plus foundations of yet to be determined height) which implies other programmatic opportunity (volumetric and object). Your charge this weekend is to compete a programming package for this vessel. Compete the tasks you learned last semester, quickly and completely.

I believe the task list from last semester was like this, from Cherry:
1. Research the project type
2. Establish goals and objectives
3. Gather relevant information
4. Identify strategies
5. Determine quantitative requirements
6. Summarize the program

The HOK "Problem Seeking" programming text lists them this way:
1 Establish Goals 
2 Collect and analyze Facts
3 Uncover and test Concepts
4 Determine Needs
5 State the Problem.

I am impartial to your choice of the above methods.

Your work will include various of these for many of the above tasks:
Examples (precedent(s) and/or other sources)
Narrative writing (paragraph form)
Lists (bulleted headings, sometimes with subheadings or brief text)
Charts, Worksheets, Tables (excel spreadsheets)
Diagrams (hand drawn, possibly digital) and Matrixes (hybrid digital and drawn, like you did last semester)
Statements. Well thought out (grammatically correct!) communications.

Package this together (InDesign or PowerPoint) in a document that you will submit on canvas by Monday morning.

  1. If anyone has any questions about what I'm thinking about in regards to program, please let me know. I have some ideas already and I am working on diagrams now. Will make a post later today, so keep an eye out!

    1. I think a Cafe is still achievable. I'm thinking a couple propane grills for the cooking surfaces with some ice coolers. Takes no power and will keep the cooking education idea viable.
