Architex

Task ideas

Tasks are being worked on by the architex within this week and will be discussed via this page with the metalab. This accumulation is in progress, and will be presented as a list of problems with solutions to be discussed.

Entrance Area

The entrance area is being worked on as demonstrated by Philip at the Charette; principally, the idea has been executed as a white opaque plexiglas ceiling that becomes a surface of colored light veins.

• Empty and full crates for ClubMates etc are proposed to be used as light filters
• Lockers for personal belongings and jackets are proposed to be designed and constructed

Ventilation

To install a functional ventilation is not a priority of our action, but as there are plenty of ideas, let's discuss this as part of the design.

Lounge

• Lounge
  The lounge is the official smoking room. Ventilation by opening the windows in not always practical. Proposal could be to install a proper ventilation tract from the lounge via the corridor through the happylab into the courtyard.

• chemical and photo lab
  to be discussed

In all other areas, it seems sufficient to open windows.

WhateverLab

Illumination/Lighting

Hallway
