My schedule is as follows up until next semester.
I plan on having my research and literature review done before Christmas. I have some good sources gathered. Right now I am looking at some older books such as Lewis Mumford's The Highway and the City as well as Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Both books are well ahead of their time and quite insighful. They both help illustrate the problems that highways bring to cities, but neither address deck parks as a solution. So what about research on deck parks? I may not find much. I may have to rely more on feasability reports such as the one for Los Angeles's Hollywood Freeway Central Park. Perhaps there is more on the internet that I have not tapped yet. I plan on searching hard tomorrow.
After Christmas I plan on taking care of presidence studeis as well as all site inventory and site analysis. This includes pictures, diagrams, maps and a site model.
