Project 2 - Testing Session 1
Tester 1
- Need to make it customizable
- The charging station can be solar
- Need to avoid the ventilation areas
- How would access for outsiders work?
- Maybe consider more individualized pods for the private space
Testers 2 & 3
- Could work better on the rooftop of a mall
- Make sure it is able to be used in residential areas (might be hard for apartments)
- Expand on the private spaces on the rooftop
Tester 4
- Funding? Government can give credits or extensions of buildings if they use the green rooftop
- Look into new developments to create incentives for them to install instead of trying to retrofit onto current buildings
- Find a way to make it more compelling and economically viable
- Consider physical location and value in relation to things like dedicated rooftops to solar power
- Try to incorporate solar
- Make sure it generates fully positive energy rather than any negative, harmful molecules
- Consider height limits for buildings
Testers 5 & 6
- how can you regulate the temperature? we can introduce a four-season perspective
- what about the feasibility? how large would the rooftop need to be? (minimum standard)
- Have a place where people could walk on sand, like an oasis, in the city center.
Testers 6 & 7
- where does the water go for the plants? Like special channels to not create water from the rooftops? We can have a pipeline
- Access? Can anyone go? Dedicated to the employees?
- the trees block other people and you trick yourself into feeling like you have personal space
- Is it going to be too heavy for the building? Will it not create extra weight on the building itself?
- if you have a 15-minute break, you just want a green place not necessarily too many (have a balance)
- dog - friendly
- maybe cocoon
