* worried about size (a little big?)
* Free Ferry [http://figmentnyc.org/2008/travelinfo.html schedule] and map
* could be great in the middle as a rest space ... build rest of course around it


playability:
== Planning, Construction & Design ==
ball getting stuck in grooves
* add in flat segments in middle or putty or something
* could make putting surface flatter
* need high walls, & separate from sitting area
* gradient of ground: factor it into design


start: could eliminate ramp, start up high (I added a ramp up in my drawing)
=== Robo's design [[ACL_Plans]] ===
end: could ramp it down to make last part easier


surface:
=== Construction & Build plan: [[ACL_Construction]] ===
Astroturf + soft stuff underneath?


safety & durability:
=== Development stage: [[ACL_Development]] ===
* delta shades – will they hold up?
* weather - drainage holes and/or tar paper for waterproofing
* putting surface: needs to be able to support people walking on it … we may need to add supports underneath (current design is prob. not walkable)


Overall people were optimistic, they loved the idea of a loungy dual purpose space, and they felt that issues with playability could be tested and fixed as we move forward with design and construction.

Disorient created a minigolf hole that was installed as part of the Figment "City of Dreams" MiniGolf course. The course was installed on the island from June 27, 2008 to October 12, 2008, and was playable every weekend throughout the summer.

Our hole, a combined minigolf hole and lounge space with airport-themed signage, formed the entry point into the "City of Dreams," as a place where one could escape the summer heat, lounge, socialize, and snooze.

Installation & Deinstallation


Installation of the base hole was completed by FIGMENT opening day on June 27, 2008, with completion of the Delta shade the next day. Ed & Ky performed the base install, with help from a few others on the Delta. It was a hit!

Deinstallation was performed by Archer & Jester Jaimi, who stored the hole on Governor's Island.
