Designing the KSL Shed

After months of planning and organization, we have finally discovered many talented students willing to help out with the creation of the Seed Library. With the help of our new members, we recently created the design for the KSL shed. This shed will contain all the library seeds, and is to divide alphabetically to add more structure to the project. As well, unlike the other Seed Libraries across Vancouver, we have planned to develop a stationary library as opposed to one that constantly wanders across the neighbourhood.

On September 23rd, 2012, a group of students from Grades 8-12 came over to my house to brainstorm the ideas for the shed design. They included Gelareh Modara, Aria Modara, Michelle Avina, Kimberley Wong, Ana Obrknezev, Cameron Chehroudi, Judy Park, Leor Elizur, Lucia Huo, Bryan Buraga, Claire Honda, and Julia Weder. We had a blast during our two-hour work party, and finally created a structure for the shed. 
Below are snap-shots from our design day.

Judy Park, Leor Elizur and Lucia Huo 
are enjoying Cameron Chehroudi's creative ideas.

Meanwhile, Gelareh Modara, Claire Honda, Julia Weder, and Bryan Buraga 
work towards more practical designs.

Currently, we are working towards solidifying the design measurements and lumbar requirements for our shed. In about a week, we shall order the wood supplies.

We are truly looking forward to realizing our plans.
