groWorld design week 200708: promising directions
These five directions are an agglomeration of topics that came up most often in the Reality Check session of the design week. In order to be able to choose the most promising direction, some more work is needed…
Storytelling / ARG / emergent situations
to do (maggie, maja, nik):
survey of the field: ARG, tricksters, absurdist and sensorial theatre, non-linear embodied storytelling
check resource feasibility (people, skills, time, funds)
think about possible topics, sites, methods…
prepare concrete proposals for design week in october
do a situational map of the field and the forces acting on it + forecast most promissing avenues
Hybrid Reality Gardens / Gaps between buildings
to do (nik, maja, lina, theun):
survey of the field: virtual gardens, urban agriculture, roof gardens, permaculture, location based games
check resource feasibility (people, skills, time, funds)
think about possible topics, sites, methods…
prepare concrete proposals for design week in october
do a situational map of the field and the forces acting on it + forecast most promising avenues

Workshops
to do (maja, maggie, lina):
best practice analysis (foam and related)
-
design and implement workshops (luminous green, open sauces, techNouveau)
Mobile Kitchens
to do (maja, theun, cocky)
survey of the field: nomadic kitchens, state of the art industrial design for kitchens, permaculture kitchens
check resource feasibility (people, skills, time, funds)
make an inventory of what a mobile kitchen would need to include, how it would move, be powered…

Lightweight structures in large empty spaces
to do (cocky, lina, theun):
survey of the field: lightweight structures, inflatables, temporary shelters, eco-tourism, 'holiday offices'
check resource feasibility (people, skills, time, funds)
