Meeting Minutes - October 20, 2009

Site:Montreal's Underground - "MOLE-Treal"

Concepts: infrastructure, connection, megastructure, root systems, "plug into the city", horizontal rather than vertical urbanism, subterranean urbanism

Elements: Program (undefined?) spaces, horizontal connecting elements (metro = elevator),
vertical connections to Montreal and its nutrients (light)

Questions: What is a skyscraper for Montreal? What are "views" in the underground? What can Moletreal give to Montreal?(we are taking light, we could give them geothermal - like mutualism in biology)

ToDo:

Emil is going to look up images of things that connect for nutrients (plants, root system, oil drills, tunnels, ....); he will try to find both organic and linear examples

I am going to make an image of the surface over the boundaries of the existing underground so we can see were we can touch the surface.

Bo - do whatever - make it sexy, but mainstream.
