TUTE THREE - Batersea two (Team Superstar)

Minutes 11th April

another good old friday with a lot of progress and the studio deadline of two weeks. awesome.
this time we made a little model of what our structure looked like externally, and showed richard our ever changing floor plans.

• Rammed earth Vs Limestone
• thinking about reusing the dugged earth back into the mound. its all about using all avaliable materials.
  
• having a look into keeping the water clean (free of disease and insects and such) this is refering to the trough on top of the roof. that water system is to create a cool air flow into the house.
• we must do some research into the air flow system that we currently have and to prove it will work.
  
• courtyard shading
• tucker sugests that we must fully design the greenhouse and courtyard as we've just left spaces for them. we need to intergrate them both.

later that day we went to see Mark Luther the texas looking guy about our cool air flow system we got going on.

• shading the trough - or otherwise we would only heat up the water, and would create hot air into the house.
  
• we have to think about the time of the day to do this, as if we do this during the day, it will heat up the water once again. night time would be a more suitable effect.
  
• how are we going to create cold dense air?
• we must look into, the night sky radiation of our climate and maybe cooling the water at night.
  
• he points out that we have a lot of air to move, and we cannot just rely on the wind as its not always reliable.
  
• another point would be to looking at using the ground for cooler temperature as well as an insulation. by using this air flow from within, the air is swept through maybe a chimney?

cool.
