Good communication is the main challenge.
This requires:
• equal competences
• same language spoken and shown
• functioning communication tools
• face to face-encounters
Preparation:
After two years negotiating with Naxií and C.A.M.P.O, the requirements for a collaborative DesignBuild project were given: Building ground, brief and resources.
Ex-alumni and students from the UNAM visited the location, took the measurements, and did a research on the context and discussed mandate and duties. CoCoon planned the seminar structure, set up the crew and secured the funding.
Design:
In three month, the designers developed the final design in close collaboration with the cooperative. Each step was accompanied by a presentation face to face or via skype. The brief was discussed and adapted to the projects inherent restrictions. Knowledge from different disciplines, provided by students and professionals was reflected in the execution drawings on a professional level.On arrival the hill was a lot steeper than expected, so the whole master-plan had to be changed.
