Sustainable?


Hi there!
So what is sustainability and is there different types or degrees of sustainability?
Well I thought about building a transport system that is sustainable in that way it produces energy in the same time as it uses it. Anyway, it looks brilliant I think!
Snow outside... stay inside or go racing downhill?
Cheers!

How Big is a wind power station?





We took a trip in the surrounding area too get an idea of size and sound of a power mill. There are several stations near Lund.


From afar they are beautiful and almost elegant. When we got near the mill it felt a little frightening, they are really huge and felt somewhat scary!


But the sound was comparable with the one from ski lifts, that was a positive knowledge because of the rumours that the noise are disturbing.

PIN-UP 23 of feb visualizing sketching

This is not a big pin-up.

It is a way to put focus on visual comunication since we noticed that several groups didn't work with visual sketching.

6A3 Doesn't mean that you should make posters for presentation, if you are in a sketching stage, this is what you will put on your posters. Let the posters show that you are in an elastic stage where you're still searching.

We have had questions on how projects can be visualized to comunicate more direct and think it can be an oportunity to focus this pin-up around this.

This way we can secure an even more consecvent presentation the 1 of mars when we will have external guests.

Hopefully all projects will benifit from the discussions that your posters may start.

Study trip in Scania

Working with the train infrastructure and the living situation in some smaller towns and villages in the region we decided to take a study trip out in the landscape of Scania. We decided to take a drive where we think that the railway can develop and to investigate the towns/villages next to it.
We went from Lund through Hurva, Hörby, Tollarp, down to Tomelilla where we had some time for some shopping at Bo Olsson. We continued back to Lund driving through Sjöbo, Veberöd and Dalby. It is truly amazing how the landscape varies in Scania and how we always seems to forget this from time to time. Along this trip we found some places that we will continue to work with. Hurva is one of the places that we immediately found very interesting and will take a closer look at. We also found that all these villages that we visited had so much more to offer than we thought...you learn something new every day. Our spirits are up and it will be exiting to see where this will lead us in the project.
One of the architectural highlights of the day was this "korvkiosk" in Tomelilla...nice don't you think!?

PIN-UP friday 23 of feb 9.00-13.00 at hyllan

"When image says more then words..."

This Pin-up will focus on visual communication and informative images.

Imagine we lived in a world without words (or that you just would like to compress meaning into non verbal information). Images can communicate as well as text, but off cause it is a skill to handle them.

“We have spent the last 100 years inventing less demanding, less time-consuming alternatives to reading: radio, TV, movies, video games, the internet and now mobile phones that can take and send pictures…we are following the advice of a million symbols, signs and logotypes. There’s a symbol that stands for something every where you look.”

“World Without Words” by Michael Evamy

Try to visualize your thinking.

Make 6 A3 posters (laying format), where text and images communicate as image, explaining what you have done and what you already think you will do but haven’t done yet. Use your knowledge about layout and narratives to express the main intensions and important details, than if necessary ad explaining text.

Place your posters at a table, (three lying posters side by side in two rows), at Hyllan Thursday afternoon.

All groups may attend all presentations.

Juan Carlos Peirone, teaching applied aesthetics, will be our guest.
