LEARNING SESSIONS WITH CHRIS "WOOD" ANDERSON
THEME:
I'd like to do a project with students involving snowboarding/skateboarding/trick bike facilities.
We can use 2nd level (at Dee Stadium) as a close, real park to take observations.
Later, I'm going to look into potential materials to build a model.
Other aspects can involve architectural aspects to design of parks.
regulations, history of parks, board design, economics of the sport, etc. can grow this project.
If you have any additional aspects, please share your thoughts.
