1. how do we exploit the system of the Virginia creeper and transfer it to architecture.
2. how do we tie the same idea of the plant life back to the bigger picture of the urban whole.
3. what sort of infrastructure are we gonna propose within the city

to settle question one first we have to think what kinda of typologoy are we looking to create.
do we say 'fuck context' and infuse a new typology within red hook or do we try to respond to what is there with a version of itself.
i have been thinking about how much can scripting help us in these matters so far i don't see us scripting anything more than pure analysis in order to automate that part of our process...
we can also ,if we decide to explore the plant.. try to develop some kind of growth algorithm with specific rules relating to the bounds of red hook.
i mentioned once that maybe we should take the idea of the Virginia creepers to an extreme where we would scale its morphology to affect the entire red hook with the aim of creating this new urban connectivity.(that was one idea that struck me when i first saw the creepers)

we have to start considering and analyzing the existing bike path in and around the redhook environs to determine whether we are gonna use them or eradicate them and make new ones
im for re use we also need to determine locations for different things along the path
im thinking we need to as you suggested before try to create a multi functioning environment
in order to make riding benefit not only the riders but the whole neighborhood one way to do that i think is to make sure we allow for as many street vending facilities along the path where we could provide spaces for people to work and a fraction of the money from that could help sustain the scheme.

now with regards to infrastructure coming up with new ways to secure your bike is number one hte typical bike racks will not work we need something else that is another design chalenge we have. how does our bicycle loft operate are we gonna go with the idea of teh conveyor system where bikes are circulated on a caurosel totally auto mated or patially automated.
we also need to afix a specific atmosphere to our bicylce garage it is meant to be a hub but due to the site conditions we have to be very keen on what we do... we already have activity inflowing from the lowes hardware store being soo close how do we exploit these thing.

questions?
