Meeting tomorrow, next steps and new presentation date

We decided that it is necessary and of benefit for your individual works to extend the project and present on Feb 6 or Feb 7. We will only show elaborated work that went through enough iterations so if there is still a lot of work to do please use the opportunities to come to the meetings with David and me well prepared with updated designs. Tomorrow David will (start to) meet you around 10.

So this is what you will need to do (should be clear after the Tuesday session anyway). And please check in for the meeting with David, especially Kalia, Maria, Yasmine and Matea should share updated work.

Artefact of your concept: This is the most crucial thing. The artefact will be a physical object that you exhibit at your exhibition element. It should not envision or explain your process (unless you would suggest this for the “real” setting of your project as well). It requires a certain maturity and formal as well as aesthetic qualities. It should be well-thought in terms if functionalities. It will / might be an entry point to access your concept and to go deeper via the User story or the system map.
Content: We still use the GoogleDoc to collect the text that will be used for the poster of your exhibition element as well as for the presentation slides. Please have a look I gave additional comments to all of you. I also added a line about data / information to support the concept – as we were talking about this for quite a few weeks.
Posters for your exhibition element
- Everybody is aware which type of user story and system map to show, most are working on it.
- We still have to see which photos or drawings you want to share.
- Use the template plakat Ordner for the 2 posters (front / backside of the exhibition element). Additional posters can be created if necessary.
- Content for the posters explaining your project and process at our GoogleDoc (see above) Deadline Jan 24, 9 AM, you will get feedback from me on that Friday morning
- Poster as PDF based on the template -> Deadline Jan 28 meeting sample printout, to be reworked based on feedback of that session
- Final visual material for the posters -> Deadline Feb 3
- Final posters printed out -> Deadline Feb 4, 1 PM
3 cases every participant, according to the requirements shared in our KISDspace
- if you refer to a case in your poster, create a QR code with https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ referring to the URL of the case at the KISDspace) – > Deadline Jan 28
Exhibition element
- Draft what you will need and what exactly you will show -> Deadline meeting Jan 28
- All: planning what goes where, David will coordinate
Shared PDF presentation
- 2 slides each group based on template (will come from David and me), content is based on material you shared for the poster, will be discussed in Feb 4 meeting
Exhibition set-up
- one day before the presentation, so either Feb 5 or 6, to be decided if the presentation date is set. I would prefer Feb 6 (if there should be presentations on that day). One day before the presentations all will join a rehearsal in the afternoon.

Next steps / regional contact

After today´s intense discussions with all of you I am looking forward to the next steps from your side. Some are really very far and it will be about how to select the most important things, how to best communicate them and use the time to think about building meaningful new relations / connections between individual aspects you developed. For some still many things are vague and I have just heard things but not seen what you think of.

So the next days will be really important to decide whether we all can make it to present as announced and agreed on Jan 31 or if we can / should go later (Feb 6). It should be clear for all that we have to create a meaningful coherence in each project and thus create a meaningful presentation and exhibition as a next and final step.

We will see – so please be very considerate about the next steps, deliveries and next steps I shared and discussed today.

There is a regional contact I received from MEDes student Carolin Schabbing, the Regionalwert AG https://www.regionalwert-rheinland.de/ – it is very interesting to see what they are doing (worth to explore!) – could it be of help for you to be connected to them by Carolin? Let me know.

Artefact Speisewald

Hello,

Here is the picture of our main artefact, the touchpoint to the Speisewald platform.

Sorry for the delay.

It will be tangible by the 30th and we will also have a 1/100 model of the Speisewald next to it.

We will share the exhibition element planning for our meeting tomorrow.

See you then!

Artefact 80/20

Screens will be the artefact of my project, to project the programme/ software. For the presentation specifically I’d like to go with a tablet or Ipad.

Artefact

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. Here is a photo of our artefact that we can talk about on Tuesday. Also we created a miniature vehicle for our presentation that we would like to use for a more tangible explanation of the project cycle.

Have a nice weekend and see you on Tuesday.

Cheers

We have just put together a quick pdf displaying our progress. Diana and I are working on refining our concept and are beginning to think about how it will work and be presented on the 31st! See you next week.

Short feedback – how to proceed

Hope you had a good session yesterday! As I will be in the Scottish Highlands until Sunday I need to give you some remote comments (general ones9 in order to make or keep you productive until next Tuesday. Lets put it like this; next Tuesday we have to decide what we will show and exhibit and from now on you should block four days a week for working on the project (if excited, more of course).

Please keep on reworking the table. I made some general comments on the categories we were asking for.

Together with David I will start to give more detailed individual feedback in the next year. Can you please all share a photo of your planned artefact by tomorrow / THURSDAY so that you can get feedback and iterate before our meeting next TUESDAY. A

Meeting Tuesday 21/01

As prof. Heidkamp mentioned in his comment on the previous post, next week we want to discuss your physical artefact and what exactly you want to show in the exhibition. Now you have to get physical! Be prepared next week as we will open the tutoring slots again, this time taking 30 minutes per group. But only if there is material to talk about 😉 Do not hesitate to write me if you have questions or want additional guidance or feedback.

And can you upload your pitch in this google doc, so we can give comments and feedback straight in there?

Goodnight!

Recap 07/01 + To Do 14/01

After the tutoring, we discussed how we will shape the final 30-minute presentation/exhibition. At the start, prof. Heidkamp and I will give a 5-minute introduction to the theme(s) of the project to set the context right. Afterwards, each project gets exactly 1 minute to present. 5+8=13 This will give the visitors enough time to go around and ask you things.

Now for next Tuesday (14/01) we will meet altogether at 10:00 and practice the elevator pitch already, as it’s a process, and it forces you to condense your project. So again, the name ‘elevator pitch’ reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time-span of an elevator ride. Each team will give a 1-minute oral pitch to the rest of the class! I will time it, and after we can give some feedback. (a tip, I would write a little script)

After I want to continue the discussion on how we are doing the final presentation. We have already said that everyone would have 2 posters (at least) and present their physical artefact onto the platform of KISD’s exhibition systems. I’ll try to get one in class on Tuesday so you can feel it.

By Tuesday (14/01), we ask you to fill out this spreadsheet (in which you will find the table below) with information about your project. So we can gather the condensed content of the different projects in one place.

See you on Tuesdayi!

EDIT: Also! Here is the Schwarzplan of Cologne in PDF. This is a black and white plan of the greater Cologne. You can download it with the password fcf. Thanks Philipp!
There are many different ones. I am still downloading the folders to look which one is most useful but my suuperslow internet says it will take me another 2 hours. For the ones interested, have a look too and maybe share which one would be of most value to us.

Food is increasingly getting on the agenda of design and designers. And there is need for new approaches!

In this international project, we will research and analyse structures and processes related to food production, distribution and consumption in (future) cities (Cologne/Taipei).

We will develop possibilities of future approaches, especially in the context of increasing digitization (AI, IoT, blockchain, traceability, bait to plate, farm to fork) – and question them critically.

How can we design a different relation to food, its ingredients and values, its production and culture, its habits and processes?
How can we create new relations and values to ingredients of food?
How can we connect (us to) different stakeholders, especially to build relations between farmer/producer and consumer.

A part of the project team – max. 6 students – will be able to work in Taipei for a week in November, supported by students from SCID Taipei and the project group in Cologne. Details will be clarified in the first project meeting.

In Cologne, we work together with local experts and stakeholders.

At the end of the semester, both the analysis and drafts / prototypes will be presented.

In the project we refer to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular to SDG 11 and 12. Due to the topic, it might be possible to submit the results to the Cumulus Green Award (and I will encourage and support you to do so).

We will approach the project by questions we want to explore. In the beginning, we will have the opportunity to find a huge variety of questions and then discuss them – amongst us and with others . in order to find out the most relevant ones. Relevant in terms of the need to approach them and relevant to approach them from the perspective of design.

Pre-meeting: if you have questions or want to make sure that you are really in the project – or want to influence the character of the project even before it started please try to join our pre-meeting on Thursday September 26 at 12.30

First official meeting: This is mandatory for all that want to join – it will be on Tuesday October 22 at 10.00. In this meeting I want to see what your specific interest in this project is – so please subscribe to this space, contribute with some relevant questions and maybe cases as well…

Regular meetings: The regular meetings are always on Tuesday at 10.00. As I mentioned due to some travel activities we won’t meet every Tuesday, but there will be weeks where we meet twice or longer during the Tuesday meeting. There is a GoogleDoc with all our meetings (always updated). If you are not available we can arrange to connect via zoom – but always let me know before.

Taiwan trip: the workshop in Taiwan is scheduled for November 18-23. The core group not traveling to Taipei will proceed meeting here and we will remotely collaborate via our KISDspace and zoom (see above).

We can learn a lot from existing cases and studies. Here we are collecting relevant cases how digitalisation influences and affects food farming, production, distribution and consumption. How farmers/producers are connected to consumers, the rural to the urban.

Cases are structured around 3 core questions: What it is, Where it is and Why it is relevant. In addition, cases have tags / keywords to made them more accessible and findable. It would be great to use the comment function about the use of cases to create additional information

Here we will collect interesting experts: individuals, organisations or initiatives who are doing something we consider valuable in the context of the project. They can be (preferrably) from the area Cologne or Taipei with the purpose to meet them for an interview, invite them for a talk or a workshop, or to go for a visit or a field trip.

This is the page where we share our digital communication – in this case video messages between Cologne and Taipei to figure out what’s the best way to keep in touch. And for live connections please use https://zoom.us/j/5505005500

Travel information Taipei

Before the project is starting, we have to jump right in the middle – to our trip to Taipei. For those of you that want to join the trip to Taipei I can share the following very important information today:

I pre-booked 2 rooms in the hostel We Come (our students stayed there 2 years ago and it is really very good and excellent location). At the moment I have 2 beds in a male room and 4 beds in a mixed room, as all female rooms are already booked. I can also try and book one complete 8 person room, then you have no other people with you in the room…Make up your mind. Check-In will be Sunday Nov16, Checkout Saturday Nov 23.

In addition, I was looking for flights. I found China Eastern flights with reasonable rates and good connection.

You are free to look for other / better options. The earlier we decide (best: now, next week…), the better for you.

In terms on financial support I received some money from TH Köln (180 Euro / Person). The flights are currently cheap (380 Euro / Person). I would cover the hotel from my money, so you need to contribute roundabout 200 Euro. Living in Taipei itself is for sure cheaper than in Cologne.

Please make up your mind until our meeting this Thursday – if you want to travel and if you decide now.

See you on Thursday!
