[ICA] - new termanology

Yesterday our group met with our professors and we pinned up a series of schematic diagrams according to our site analysis. Each person had several diagrams for each of the three sites we are thinking of choosing for our project. We are still trying to integrate our three main ideas into the diagrams. Today I have started a new set of diagrams that not only incorporates our prefabricated core, but also flexible partitons, and a modular system. We came up with a new term to replace the repititive use of the word core.....(brace yourself) - ICA - Integrated component assembly. Today I plan to Email Lowes in Ruston with a letter of intent as well as speak with their materials manager in person. They have helped in past Habitat projects and would be a great source of assistance in our project. We have split into groups of two to re-examine our analysis of previous Habitech houses, Habitat houses, and the local and Louisiana vernacular.
