Meeting with Strauss

Okay, so we got some details about this whole trip.

The Flight:
Lansing to Detroit to Frankfurt, Depart at 130 PM Arrive at 750 AM
Vienna to Amsterdam to Detroit to Lansing, Depart at 11 AM Arrive at 8 PM
We'll meet Strauss in Frankfurt.

The Project:
A design charette for a big site (by German standards) in Dortmund. On an abandoned mine near a river and with highway (autobahn?) access. Technically we're preparing what's known as a preparatory Land Use Plan. We are also expected to write about Berlin and Vienna redevelopment practices.

The Accommodations:
In Dortmund we'll be staying with students. Because its a newer university there are few dorms. There was an attempt to get all of our host locations relatively close together.
