Design Drawings by RoBo, with input from Deep Down Disorient Daze Cell members Ocean and Friar Tuck.
The Astral Carpet Lounge is based upon the concept of two attached Zero-G Chairs:
City of Dreams meeting notes from 4/6/08
In general:
- people like it
- worried about size (a little big?)
- could be great in the middle as a rest space ... build rest of course around it
playability: 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) end: could ramp it down to make last part easier
surface: Astroturf + soft stuff underneath?
safety & durability:
- 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.
