Working on a Presentation / Narrative

Our 10,000 ft macro objective: 5 years out.
To help UC Berkeley create a 21st century field station as a resource for future faculty & students that are interested at gathering data where knowledge and the environment intersect.

Our 10 ft objective: Fall 10; Spring 11
To have the opportunity to help facilitate a real world project that we can critically overlay design, construction, collaboration and process to allow our work to be the catalyst for making a built environment that supports future Blue Oak Ranch Reserve goals.

Our 1 ft micro objective: Summer 2010
To help define our project, scope, goals as we better understand how Graduate students can help the Blue Oak Ranch Reserve.

Work Days:
We have about 8 Graduate Students working together this summer to pull together and discuss the above goals. We are at the point where we are creating graphics to help inform a narrative as it helps uncover questions. On Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 we started to map out a prezi presentation to help explain the context of all the items we have created so far. Saturday, July 10th, we had a successful workday as we created the following:
  • vector map -to show the relationship of Berkeley to Blue Oak Ranch Reserve
  • Wordle - to establish a hierarchy of conversations / ideas
  • Berkeley Map - a start of understanding which departments have a vested interest.
