Eco-city
Friday, February 06, 2004
At school I was chosen to go to Dynamic-earth for a week to do a thing called 'Eco-city'.Eco-city is a model of part of Edinburgh(from the traun kirk to one part of Arthurs seat up to holyrood and then back up to the traun kirk)To describe the size of the model I will tell you that the size of a person is the size of my thumb nail.There were 6 schools there and twelve from each school were chosen.We were put into groups and I was in a group with Tamara and some other kids from other schools, then we each got a bit of the model and my group (the red group) was given the 'Dumbydikes' area.We had one week to come up with ideas and in that same week we had to build our ideas.The basic part of the model was already there.On my model we kept all of the low flats in Dumbydikes but we painted them pastel colours.With the high rised flats we moved the walls back, painted them pastel colours and added roof gardens and glass domes.On Arthurs seat we put a dry ski slope (we knew that it would never happen but it was the ideas that counted!!!!)In holyrood park we put a panthenom
