Since we spoke at the end of class on Tuesday, I have been brainstorming ways in which we could make our seating/area more dynamic and multi-functional. I really like the idea of including some type of storage within the garden, for everything from plates to learning materials. My group had decided to put seating around the oven, so I have been trying to brainstorm ideas to incorporate storage within the seats. This makes the material choice much more difficult, which is something my group was already struggling to decide on. I would love to be able to use the cob for the seating, but I am concerned about the cobs weight-bearing ability. I had thought the seats would be sturdy due to the thickness, however if we want to incorporate storage, I was thinking the seats may be hollow. Hoping that being in the garden/ seeing the garden again tomorrow will generate more ideas!
We have been doing some research in terms of the wheels/tires we will use for our storage bench. We are looking at both the environmental affects, durability, and ability of the tires/wheels to work in the mud. After seeing the tires (from a tricycle) that we had planned to use, does anyone have any input? Peter thinks that the current tires will be perfectly fine and we had planned not to buy any of our materials, but if we can't use these wheels we will have to buy bigger, more durable tires. However, this will effect the height of our bench and therefore, may delay our progress.
