Based on the comments I received from my last review I started to update my thesis booklet. It’s still a work in progress (of course) and I need to work on diagramming some of the environmental ideas more clearly but I’ve started to draw out some of these. I was particularly interested in some of the comments I received on water catchment systems. Using some of the rules of thumb that I got from my reviewers I began crunching the numbers for rain water catchment potential and storage capacity. This is particularly important for my project because in order to cultivate and grown mycelium you need a lot of water. Furthermore mushrooms do not like grid water because of the chlorine content but many of the contaminants that are in the water from bubbly creek are nutrients for the mushrooms. My next plan of attack is to work on some of the detail drawings, figure out my roof plan, rework my environmental diagrams, make a section showing these environmental ideas, and create some great looking perspectives. My 3d model is almost done but needs to be updated but once finished I will be able to get the line work for my remaining drawings from it.
