A quick one while you was away…

At the start of the week we were giving a mini project to be completed by Thursday. The brief was to think about the Ravensbourne’s move to the new site next to the 02, we had to pick a concern of the new site and come up with a feasible idea and a “blue sky” idea.


One concern me and partners had was the lack of parking spaces, Ravensboure has no parking at the new site but it is more accessible by public transport (doesn’t mean your going to get there on time). Our feasible idea was to construct a floating car park on the River Thames.


Here is our proposal (some nice sketch up model from esteemed colleague Ben King)…





Our “blue sky” (said though gritted teeth) idea is to have a robot locker that will follow students around campus to help them carry their equipment, give them live updates on their schedules, travel, events that are happening in the university.


These updates will be tailored for the individual using the robot, these preferences will be loaded when the user scans their thumb to start operating the robot.


Below is a more detailed description on the final sheet (I think the architect came out in me, I have hang around their kind far too long)…
