Meeting notes from 15/02/2013

1) Competition brief - not available from the LI (they didn't run the competition), or RIBA, etc. Conclusion is that it must have been run by Ealing Council themselves. We have a summary of the project objectives so getting hold of the brief itself probably isn't a high priority but we can ask Ealing and FoRM when contacting them whether they have a copy they can send us.

ACTION- Add question re. brief to list for Ealing Council and FoRM Assoc.

2) Writing report - agreed to split the group into 3, with each sub-group starting to put text into one of the 3 parts of the report as follows:

Part 1: The Design Team - Valentinos and Elena

Part 2: The Objectives - Matt, Kevin, Cristina
Part 3: Our Team - Mitti, Victor, Tam

ACTION - aim to have first draft of each section by next Friday (all to contribute text, then edit). Next week groups to edit each other's sections, then final week on presentation.

 

3) Questions - agreed to contact design team members and ask relevant questions from the list as follows:

FoRM Assoc - Elena

Ealing Council - Valentinos
Engineering - Mitti
Steering group - Tam
Rob Cairns (Project Manager) - Matt
LDA - Kevin (well volunteered Kevin! Let us know if this is a problem)

ACTION - Each person on list above to review list of questions and produce a list for their team member (with only relevant questions, adjusted where necessary), circulate the list to the rest of the group by [Monday], telephone their organisation, email questions, follow up with phone call to run through questions.

Ideally, we are looking for responses by the end of this week if not before, but we may need to be a bit flexible as the people we are contacting will be busy!

4) Presentation - Still no date confirmed. We need to think about the format - do we try to do something 'imaginative' or just go for a simple approach? Main work on this will be done in the final week.

5) Allocating marks - Still not decided.

6) Site visit - Not decided, but I'm planning to go next Friday morning unless the weather is really bad.

ACTION - All to confirm whether they are planning to go to site on Friday, or availability for visit another time.

7) Blog - Kevin, can you change the Blog settings so that it sends an alert email when anyone updates it? Mitti says you can change the settings somewhere to do this.
