Dear All,

Just came across a webpage/report titled “The 1.5 degree Challenge” by Mckinsey.

There are proposed actions and changes that mankind will need to urgently take/make to enable us to stop global warming.  The 1st item that the report has listed is FOOD related.  If you have time can go to the web link and review this…………

Dear all, hello Hendrik, Michael, Estelle from KISD, we missed you today and as we just meet once a week joining is crucial to meet with your team – and with us to get the latest news and feedback. Please check with your teammates – and make sure that in each meeting there is one member that can speak for the team.

We suggest that all teams find their individual date before next Tuesday to prepare the work to be shared in the intermediate presentation next Tuesday.

Dear All,

Philipp and I are looking forward to seeing you all again at 13:00 (and 20:00 HK time).  Wish you all had some fruitful discussions these days. 

Talk soon.

Benny

Dear all, sorry that we didn´t make the full tour today in the breakout rooms. The good news is: Team 6 and 7 have some more time to proceed. Benny and I will meet you this THU at 1300 UTC (1 hour later than usual).  After talking to Team 6 and 7 we are happy to give some more feedback if necessary – but I think you had quite a lot of input you have to digest and transform.

Dear All,

For your reference, I have uploaded a PDF copy of my lecture ppt onto the MIRO board. 

See you all soon again.

Benny

Dear All,

Today, there will be a fifth lecture shared by me. See you all in about 40 mins. 

Also, looking forwards to hearing the latest ideas of your projects after my talk as well. 

Cheers!

Benny

Dear All,

For your gathering tonight, if you would like to talk to me.  Please let me know by sending me a message at the KISDspace. 

I’ll be around for sure.  Hope to see you later.

Benny

Hello, I am working today and I am trying to be there for the meeting today. However, I might not be able to make it at 1pm. I am so sorry. Best regards 

After today´s talk and our following discussions in the rooms with the teams we assume you need to proceed now a bit and expose yourself to practise and deeper investigate your topics on the microlevel by DOING it.

As you might have noticed, we schedule a few “convivial gatherings” that should be convened by the students. It should give you the opportunity to meet and do sth together, sharing an activity, practice something together, prepare a meal, or proceed to work on your topics. This week, only Benny might join as I am hosting a session of Cumulus until 1500 Cologne / 2200 HK so I might join later. Find your way, find your style – next week we will meet again for the second gathering.

As my zoom will be used for my other activity, please use the following coordinates in zoom on Thursday :

Meeting-ID: 817 0384 7837
Code: 060514

Looking forward to meet you latest on Tuesday – and always earlier if necessary. Good to see how our miro board is growing…guess you start to get more familiar with it…

The joint project will center around the challenges and opportunities of the issues of ‘changing habits during the Covid pandemic’ and ‘food value (ecological, economical, social/societal…) which we all are confronting and anticipating at the moment, and still likely to encounter in a foreseeable future.

In this international joint project, students from various cultural backgrounds (gathered from both KISD and PolyU Design HongKong) would require to team up (3-4 persons per group) and respond to the following questions with a critical, provocative design:

  • How relevant are local cultural heritages to the challenges of food production, waste, and safety?
  • How could a food preparing, cooking, or dining experience at home become enjoyable yet meaningful at the midst of (and after) the COVID-19 pandemic?
  • How would such experiences be conducted and promoted eco-friendly, effectively, efficiently, and economically among family members, friends
    and personal social networks?
  • How does digitalization influence the way we prepare, enjoy, and share food/meals, and which new opportunities, practices, and habits emerge?

We will meet every Tuesday at 1200 UTC (1300 Cologne or 2000 HK) – and occasionally on some Thursdays.

Our Miro board can be found here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kg7u6Js=/

We meet online in zoom at http://zoom.us/j/5504004040  using the code 2020 (new!)

Here we collect all about the team … to get to know each other without physically meeting!

During our project, we have the pleasure of having external experts and expertise in some of our meetings… Feel free to suggest, dive deep into the presented expert(ise), add and contribute.

Those are John Thackara, Dolly Daou, Danielle Wilde, and Elaine Ann.

hey guys,

first of all: for me it wouldn’t be a problem to have the meetings on tuesday at 13:00 instead of 14:00. And yes I’d still like to participate in this project =)

I’m kind of busy the next couple days so I think you might have to wait for my introduction video until monday/tuesday next week 🙂

I’ll still try to give you a brief intro to my person and background in text format:
My name is Marius. I’m 30yrs old and I’m currently studying in my 7th semester at KISD. My plan is to be finished with my bachelor next summer. Most of my studies at KISD I did in the field of design concepts and I’m well versed in (service) design methods. I also really enjoy theoretical and experimental work for example in the field of design theories and research. You can feel free to checkout my public course reports to see what kinds of project I’ve done at KISD so far. I’m still missing a few bits and pieces there but I hope I’ll have all entries made by the beginning of this project.
I was born in southern Germany – near Heidelberg. I live in cologne since I started studying at KISD. Before I moved to cologne I did an apprenticeship and was working for a couple years for a radio station and an advertising agency. 

Concerning all the food related topics…you gotta wait for my video =)
I’ll add it to this post as soon as I’ll have time to make it. 

All the best,
M

TEAM UPDATE: Grouped up with Alessa, Matilda and Renee.Â
