NY!

And we're off! Hopefully we will start with a safe flight! Its about 6a at terminal 3 in LAX and I already from friends who went earlier back east to expect some turbulence. I can't wait to see P.S1 and the New Museum of Modern Art and the usual NY attractions. The terminal for Virgin America feels more like an expo than a terminal with its ultra chic-like booths and kiosks. Ah well.

Here are some diagrams we are working to show how our spine parti would give opportunites for expansion of the healthcare facilities and opportunities for small support spaces that occur at in-between spaces between the pods. From our view, the spine parti's masonry walls would be lateral forces and the pods could be modified for sunlight and rain collections(those drawings are coming shortly.) The key would be to show that the pods could me made from recycled materials (corrugated steel, recycled wood, and rebar, etc.) I will be in NY in the next few days to see family and some sights- and hopefully post some images as well.
