week 16 - hit the right dynamicsand open for your appearing landscapes

Hello -

as anticipated, and ashes permitting, Knut Eirik will be in the studio from wednesday to Friday.

We have planned the week as follows:

Wed. 21 April
10 am – 11 am : introduction to the week structure and the rest of the semester
11 am – 3 pm : you will be divided in two workshops

ON SUPERMAPS AND MATRIXES OF INFORMATION (AL + KED)
ON LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES (GEIR + ANDERS)

the intent of the workshop is to define together a structure for finalizing your strategies into projects able to hit the right dynamics and open for your envisioned appearing landscapes in Jæren. That is to say, the workshop tries to group into a common discussion the singular communication and strategic challenges highlighted by your projects in midcrit. A list of the groups will be put out early tomorrow.

WHAT WE ASK YOU TO DO BY WEDNESDAY : to produce a key drawing for your project, able to explain its implications and complexities , to be simple the drawing that in your final presentation could be printed large in the middle and keep all the threads of your strategy together. Can be a supermap, a diagram, the key to your storyboard, a detailed section of your transformed fragment of Jæren landscape. From this drawing we will start building upon our discussion, and we will decide together an assignment running for the three days which will aim to refine this drawing until it becomes super-communicative (thus sharpening your strategy, and if not becoming a project in itself, setting the conditions for a project to start taking form from monday onwards)

So please come with your key drawing, any reference / unprocessed information you have found during easter, and – of course – a lot of energy !! :-D

thu and fri we will keep on working interchanging between individual tutorings and common discussions.
