We’re going to try to have paper and pencil available at the Design Convos from now on, we’ll collect your notes, doodles, grocery lists or whatever and post them here in the blog. Design Convo #16 (we went back and counted, and decided it really was 16, after all), had some great doodling fodder. The collage here shows what looks like some notes from Dana Bourland’s excellent presentation on her work at Enterprise Community Partners (Food Distribution, Public Transportation, Healthy Housing). On the upper left corner is a graphic that looks inspired by some of the amazing diagrams from Pavlina Ilieva of PIKL (this one is my favorite). In the center are some bubble diagrams, reminiscent of Julie Gabrielli’s presentation on wrangling the diversity of constituents involved in the production of UMD’s award winning LEAF House Solar Decathlon entry. Someone’s got some notes on the Baltimore Community Foundation’s Kresge Grant program, which we were lucky to hear about from BCF’s Melissa Warlow.
There’s also what looks like a sketch for some kind of cryptographic or programming matrix, a diagram about greywater capture in a plumbing drain stack, and, interestingly, a small illustration labeled: Blueberry, Mint, Cardamom (sounds delicious).

Thanks to Geoff Stack for curating this one, and thanks to Russell, our host at Windup Space, and to everyone who donated, for helping us raise some funds for Architecture for Humanity’s reconstruction plan in Haiti. Those are on their way to AFH now.
