Act 9 - Scene 3 - Development of masterplan

Following feedback from Murray, I have decided it would be better to develop a close knit masterplan, where residents are incorporated into the festival, by a direct and physical presence.

2020 WOODFORDIA MASTERPLAN IDEAS DEVELOPMENT

REFUGEE / FESTIVAL COMMUNITY

1:1000@A3 - NORTH = UP THE PAGE

The eating hall used by residents throughout the year, becomes a stage/dining area for the festival. To replace either the the Bazaar or the Parlour.

The residents can be high set dwellings where residents sleep at night, and work at stalls or volunteering during the day.  The undercroft of these dwellings can form the permanent roof over stalls. The design of these could be quite interesting, testing a range of traditional and new design technologies.

It would seem impractical to have a large ablutions block in the middle of the festival, so sharing 1 shower and WC between 8-12 people would be far more reasonable and private during the festival. 

The dwelling units could have shared walls to save on materials, or single units can allow for expansion at a later date.

I have a feeling there is too much random-ness about the planning of this.  This is to allow a sense of discovery and low density for when the festival is in progress.  But what about when the festival is not on? Are they too far apart? Does it create meaningless spaces during the year?  Perhaps i need to think about figure-ground theory to arrange the figures to create meaningful spaces.  I might work on the eating area and welcome areas to begin with and the residences masterplanning can be dealt with later if I have time.
