We had a challenging few weeks as a couple of members of the team had to temporarily depart to different continents. Interrupted Skype communications and expensive phone calls were the order of the day. Nevertheless we made headway with the design and spent a lot of time revising the master plan and testing different versions. We used local climate information, as well as narratives of the journeys that people and fabric will take through the site to inform the relationships
We started to build a 3D computer model of the site which we refined as the design became clearer. Glenn and Mae-Ling both architects working in Ghana came to the Global Mamas office to conduct design reviews with us, and these were very valuable in helping us to distill and focus the conceptual ideas behind the design.
