1.24.07 - Meeting #11: Final Design Decisions

We took a deep breath this week to regroup, and to revisit our final design concept.
By the end of the session, we were able to split into three groups: core and shell, interior design and layout, and site design.
Pat O'Connell was our special guest of the week, and we found out the she's an Olympic Basketball alum, has her name in the cornerstone of the St. Louis arch, and her real name is NOT Patricia!

Meeting #11 Preview - Final Design, Foundations, and Structural Materials

The Olympic Committee was wowed by each team's design submission last week, and have come to a decision! Because elements from each scheme impressed them, they have chosen several elements from each to be represented in the final design. This evening, we will finalize our design concept based on the Olympic Committee's selections.

1.17.07 - Meeting #10: Stadium Design II

After ACE pictionary, it was time to further develop the concept from last week for the Stadium designs. Time was at a premium with the arrival of the Olympic Committee. Concepts were cleaned up, final clay models built, and ideas were presented.

With a general understanding of site planning, the conceptual design for the Olympic Stadium began. The Olympic Committee gave us their list of parameters, and with those in mind, each group developed a preliminary concept.

Meeting #9 Preview - Stadium Design

Now that we've given thought to the site plan for Northerly Island, and know a location for the Stadium, it's time for the design. How will it look? How will it work? How will it stand up?
