Students will spend the first week of fall quarter engaged in basic research and literature review (getting everyone up to speed). Five student teams of three students each would then spend the next several weeks looking at different spatial/programing aspects of the facility (a way of breaking this down into manageable chunks to begin). They would work along a continuum of containment to release in the urban environment, with one team contending with safe handling of dangerous phenomena, another team looking at release, and the three other teams looking at activities and spaces that fall somewhere in between. The five “activities/efforts” and their associated “degrees of containment” and “programs/space types” below (my first rough pass) would anticipate the eventual project brief/design problem statement that student teams would work on for the remainder of the quarter.
