hi nathan
your briefs look okay -
i would rather give certain priority to cultivation programmes (milk cow, strawberry) - your second pdf image tells some interesting interactivity between cows and people.
plus, again, it is not about making a sandwich - don't just slice in programmes.
quick search on the process of getting milk/strawberry - from breeding/sowing - should be helpful.
--- most important - it is still not clear how you design spaces through the process - by drinking strawberry milk shake - and what kind of spaces you would design --- this can be done in the next week task - go for it.

Week 19 Task_Zoe Mavromati

An Architect designs spaces that lodge the human activities.

Photo Synthesis is a community of architects that aims to the evolution of the architectural design through the synthesis and the promotion of new trends in the design of spaces.

Specifically in this community Architects use, mostly, the power of image and the photographic techniques in order to collect data that will be analyzed and the conclusions will lead to the design (synthesis) of “photographic spaces”. These spaces promote a new image of the real or virtual life.

“Photographic space” is a kind of space where everything is designed in order to support/establish the lodged activity in the best possible way but also creates the ideal conditions to record this activity (in the specific space-like a feedback). So the “produced” space becomes images again and gives feed/new information that will lead to more advanced qualities of space.

The qualities of a “photographic space” are a synthesis of light conditions, materials chooses, techniques and technologies and esthetics. This kind of space can reproduce reality but mainly it produces a new reality of environments that meet the expectation of the contemporary people.

The architectural community consists of: pod elements
1.Observers-data collectors 5% energy collector
2.Photographers 15% glowing membrane
3.Analysts 20% light collector/diffuser
4.Creators-designers 35% shape of the surface
5. Theoretical architects 5% movement sensor
6.Visual Artists 5%
7.Trend setters (PR-sellers) 15% mechanism of the pod movement
