Will it stand? 06/20/2011 0 Comments   This project has many responsibilities. One of these is that it must stand. The structure must stand as a physical element in the landscape. A place that is functional and structural. A place for grooving on a stormy summer night and for working hard on a chilly fall morning. On the other hand this project must stand for all that the Burton Street Community encompasses. It must stand for JUSTICE, not only social, but environmental. It will stand as a physical reminder of what was and what will be. Someone has a vision, now it must be sold and embraced by the rest. The design process stage we are currently in: We know what we want this thing to look like, now can we make it actually happen? With the guidance of Edward Medlock, a local structural engineer we have SUBMITTED CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS and are awaiting a building permit from the city. Yes, after many late nights and early mornings (or not so early mornings for those who were so sleepy that the alarms were of no use) the drawings were submitted for review on Thursday, June 16. Now, in the meantime we make ourselves useful!
