pre-workshop organisation

Provisional plan

Images

During the introductions, we want everyone to have a single image for them selves. It can be of a building, or a mood, or funny or anything you think represents you, your interests or your thinking. Something 640x480 or larger would be fine. These will be presented on power point and shown while you introduce yourself (everyone will get 3 minutes to say who they are, where they are from, what interests them and why they are there). I will put a couple of examples on the website.
Please email the images to n.dalton - ate - open - dot - ac - dot uk by Tuesday 24th May (otherwise we will randomly assign an image to you!)

The night before the workshop

We propose to have informal drinks at 8:00pm the night before the workshop (Friday) somewhere near the conference centre the night before the workshop. The final location has not been determined and if you have any recommendations then let me and know! It’s likely that people might be arriving late so don’t worry if you can’t make it. If you are likely to attend, then it would be helpful to let me know and I can arrange things like a phone number you can contact.
The workshop proper


The objective is to support emergent themes and issues, to genuinely respond to what has emerged from the consensus of the group rather than impose any preconceptions. From this we hope to faithfully respond to the issues, challenges and opportunities of Ar-CHI-tecture. This is an exercise in listening and participation with the emphasis on emergence and self-organisation.
Notes:
· We would photograph and video tape the session. The objective is to possibly create a youtube video summarising the session. Depending upon results we might also be able to get this on ITunes-U. If you have any problems with appearing let me know and we will endeavour to edit you out.
· The conference will be having a poster session on Monday at 17:00. If you would like to help make the poster or feel as if you could present the poster to others on the Monday afternoon then again let me know now or at the conference.
