Week 1

Framework

-What we want to do?
We want to live at sea. To do this we need food and water. These are the first things we will be looking at. We hope to build a prototype for a floating garden that we can use to provide us food from the ocean.
-Research
The Imperial College Library has a large collection of specific books in a lot of subject areas. Along with Cesar Harada we will be researching ways of harvesting food from the sea. There are numerous books on aquaculture and on harvesting and catching sea life.
The Geographical Society is also near on Exhibition Road. We are going there to investigate the site we will be testing our prototype at sea
The last place we will research in is the RCA depending on Access.
-Design
In the second part of the week we will be brainstorming ideas for the floating garden; using the information we have obtained from our research to inform us on our ideas.
Then on Sunday the 15th November I will be going to Paris to continue my placement where the design and fabrication will be completed with the aim of testing what is made at sea.
