The latest design changes we're having to make to the OW has made me feel like I want to say something about our journey through these trials and tribulations.
Somehow or other it ALWAYS turns out to be the case that the delays lead us to make changes which only serve to massively improve the end result, as is defintely the case with delays caused by the Option 1 campaign, the CERC design process and now its the mezzanine deconstruction issue.
I was discussing with Matti today about how Ivan and Isa had tried to get over to us the importance of a 'mezzanine type experience' as a means of achieving the socio-psychological gains of the OW, but methinks we were so stuck on the playpark opening at the start of the OW we never properly took on board the crucial message IandI were trying to get across to us.
Then events which look like bad news when they happen (tudor trust) and stringent timetables force us to review the plan and instead of collapsing in a heap it all just gets better than ever it seems to me! Either im an eternal optimist or theres a greater designer than we are at work here?
Anyway, hopefully another thing this blog might also help us get over is the problem where some of us naturally discuss stuff in smallish groups around our houses etc. This will always happen but if ideas are shared on here as they are happening then all discussions become much more inclusive metinks...
Im feelin it - wot about u?
