I know it has been a while since the blog has been updated, but the project has been progressing so fast that I have not been able to catch it up. Monday was the first day that all floorplans to our master concept were placed on the site. It was pretty incredible; I think we all thought so. Anyway, here are some pictures demonstrating us working through the design process, ensuring that this design is of something spectacular. Another presentation is today, so more is to come tomorrow!

Massing concepts have been completed for the site on our model; cardboard masses have been constructed and placed on the model. Next we will begin to develop our buildings further, but right now we have a bunch of cardboard massing models. Here are some of the latest pics.

Our next step is to create massing concepts for our individual "sites". This will give us an idea of where the height differences are going to occur, as well as giving us an overall visualization of what we have in mind for Norman, Oklahoma. Dr. Bozorgi compiled this nice graphic that clearly illustrates who is the designer of each section of our Master Plan footprint. Tomorrow, we are going to present our massing concepts and place them on the model to give us all a clear visualization, and give us the opportunity to make any changes that may improve the overall design of this progressively innovative design. Here is the graphic depicting the designers and their site within the bigger site.

The footprint of our Master Plan concept for Norman has been defined, and our personal obligations to design particular sectors for this master plan have been decided too. Here is the footprint of the Master Plan:
