2008 Field Trip 2 - Duvrobnik
Dubrovnik workshop - networking game
Means of working and everyone’s role should be further discussed by groups (on 13 Jan.)
Research on Dubrovink Old Town --- maps, where to eat, see, hang around… (a day trip to a nearby city?)
--- without suggestions, we will be stuck in Dubrovnik, rather bored…
At least one laptop (EU plug), one digital camera, one roamed mobile phone with a charger, sketch books and pens etc. should be prepared among travellers in each group.
group 1: Paula, Prashant, Vipin --- Nicholas, Adelynne
group 2: Dave, Mentor, Selam --- Naveed, Sam
group 3: Chris, Inga, Wei --- Asma, Tingwei
group 4: Daniel, Demetris, Ivon --- Anna
(group members may change, following the rooming list --- depending on cad skill)
route: connecting two or more points of the wall
key junctions: food (restaurant, stall)
virtual junction: a farm in or out of the town
rules: eating (cooking, serving), digesting etc. --- experiencing the town and the wall
work: game board (remapping of Dubrovink Old Town), collages of game experience
--- the general logic of this workshop will be applied to the London Wall context afterwards
