Beaches-investigation


We have been looking into the beach life in general to understand the role of the beach in the region. What is a beach? Is water and/or sand needed? What kind of beaches are there in the region? How is the beach used? When and why?
Is Oresund defined by Its beaches? In that case how does it affect the identity of the region?
Our beach investigation has included field trips, research on the internet but mostly group discussions. The phenomenon of beaches is very interesting and far more complex then we thought.
See ya on friday

Dialogue phase

Next week we move into the dialogue phase. Before this phase starts you should form new groups with 2 or 3 people in each group. These groups start to work with the interviews, and then go on to the design phase. Please write down your names on the list in the studio!

Interviews
Already this week you should prepare for next weeks interviews. These should reflect some of the discussions we have had so far and also raise questions you have got during your work. Who should you talk to? It could be politicians, planners, other civil servants, building contractors, architects and planners working in the region, NGOs (Non Government organizations), citizens with a special interest in the topic…Please note that the sooner you start contacting people, the more likely you will be able to make your interviews during the Dialogue Phase! Don’t hesitate to contact us for suggestions on who to ask for an interview! ff@uid.dk or Sabina.jallow@lpal.slu.se

Please post your choice of interview persons on the blog so we can keep track of who you chose!

Hand-in: Friday 9 February. There will be no oral presentation of your interviews. You should present your interview using the template soon posted on this blog. Print out your interview and post it on the studio wall. You should also make a text file with a full transcript of your interview for documentation.

Program for design phase
Friday 9 February you should also present a program for the design phase. Make an A3-poster in the same way you made the posters the first week, with text, images, and graphic information. The poster should answer: what will we work with, how will we do it, and how will it be presented/what techniques are we using. Put the posters on the studio wall. Fredrik and Sabina will go through your work and discuss it with you in the studio during the following Monday.
