For those not present at our last meeting heres what happened:

We discussed some further research done and also chose some particular themes we liked which were self suifficent, domestic and perosnal.

Further to this we did a brain storming excercise in order to come up with ideas around these three themes. From this we were able to come up with workable idea.

So heres the idea:

The Undergarden: If possible find an abandoned tube station and redcorate and transform it into a happier green environment. In a sense make a new green world within in this derelect space. One idea was to convert it to an overgrown cave environment and another was to turn it into a camp area with different plants being grown. The idea behind this is to simply get people thinking. If climate change happens will we have to reroute our lives to living in underground caves as we did in the past? And also is this a viable solution today to turn abandoned disused places into more productive green areas?

With the space converted we would then turn it into an event or exhibiton of sort and invite people to come down and see what we've done and get their reactions to it etc. A suggested way to attract people to this event was to give out flyers etc but also to cover the old underground sign with green and change undeerground to undergarden.

It was also suggested that we put out a donation box at this event to help cover any cost.

As a contingency plan if we weren't able to get access to a disused tube station - to build a small model represtnting the basic idea.

Therefore assignment of rearch to be done were as follows:

Lynda - research who owns these tube stations and how to get access to them
Martin - research what plants can grow underground with out light
Harry - reserch the locations of such tubes
Tom - research different green environments and any such decors also including anything that may have ben done in the undergorund already.
Marcela - research any other information that may be useful.

We also decided to meet at 1pm on Monday before the class in order to further sort out our information and ideas.

Again if I missed out anything or got something wrong please feel free to say :)
