Daisy Daisy Daisy


Daisy preschool. It's really a strange place. I too often use Burning man as a reference, but in this case, I think it's really apt. The preschool is a hodge podge of so many different ideas and constructions... it's pretty crazy, crazy like an art camp in the middle of a desert in Nevada. What is cool is that most of the structures are well built. They just don't really tallk or relate to each other.. so it's a bit too chaotic.

I guess this is my first project. Woohoo! When I talked to Eva, it seems like there's a lot of things that she wants to have done. I'm just going to focus on the shade structure. It's nice because she is totally open to it.

Given: chaos... I'm just going to go with it.

Materials: Plastic bottles: can be a rain catching device... It can be very beautiful.
Bamboo: make a basket in the sky.
Wood: boooooooring!
Trees, on wheels!

Floor: recycled rubber. Its going to be expensive...
wood chip. is always fun.
Drainage system needs to be figured out for the floor.

The kids are going to be painting with maybe 6 or so easils. Parents can have functions afterwards.. a party of sorts. That would be fun too. So the shade structure should be something light, and something sturdy instead of temporary.
