Meeting: Friday, January 7, 2011 7:30AM (Review)

Good Afternoon Susana:

We thought our meeting Friday morning and the subsequent tour with John was very informative and productive.  Your general overview & diagram (below) provided us an absolute concrete understanding of the work at hand and your shared-thoughts regarding some of the future Greenhouse possibilities helped us better understand the overall mission.  Additionally, Mike's conversation allowed us a much deeper understanding of the various OCP management responsibilities, considerations, etc. and of course we loved witnessing the personal passion which both of you exude for this project.

I recall we left-off our meeting needing a date certain for our next meeting of which I believe Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 12:00PM would work for us if that date and time is still open on your calendar.  Please reply here or by separate e-mail (if your choice) to confirm our understanding.

Meeting John Cudnohufsky and having an opportunity for further discussion regarding his educational experience on our brief tour of the Greenhouse was also enlightening and we are looking forward to those continued conversations and collaborative opportunities.

In our meeting we briefly discussed the need for additional informal access to the Greenhouse to allow us time to listen to what the space has to tell us as well as become familiar with the flow of the various Greenhouse activities, etc. to assist us in our simple space & place design efforts.  John made us aware of the current scheduling (Mornings and Evenings) and we would coincide with those with prior notice to yourself and John as appropriate.  This would also serve us well for our next meeting discussions.  Having said that, would it be appropriate to have our next meeting in the Greenhouse since "next-steps" is the proposed agenda?  This would allow us to ask questions and explore answers with immersion-context similar to a real Design Charrette execution.

Please let us know what your thoughts might be.  Hoping all is finding you well.

Best,

Jim
