Feedback from crit..

All in all the feedback from the crit was pretty positive, they were happy with the way I'd thought about planning out the farming and planning out the festival which was great because that was the basis of my proposal after all. Thy were happy with the way I'd designed the structures, I was worried that they were too simple but I'm pretty happy in the end that I've achieved the principles I wanted with the simple designs I've created, simple yet effective rather than trying to be over the top and achieving nothing. While there were some things that I didn't end up going as deep as i'd like with my research and design development I feel I had a good overall grasp on my future architecture fiction.

Things that could be improved were the water systems I've created, the small creek systems I ran through the site to direct water and encourage wildlife could have been worked with the residential villages to aid in the aquaponics systems. I didn't really detail the systems of utilising the waste from dwellings. The guest critiquer suggested looking at aquaduct type systems that ran underneath the ancient cities and still exist throughout the world. They suggested I looked at how maybe multiple dwellings might share their waste outputs and systems. Also how each dwelling might be self sufficient like in Michael Reynolds earth ships.

Another point of improvement was with the master planning of the neighbourhoods, they are too rigid and don't follow the natural forms of the site enough, the houses and pathways should respond to the site better.
