NEWS - Cascade_09

I was selected to take part in this years cascade event, being held at Doodle Bar Battersea run by d&ad and onedotzero.

There was about 30 of us on the project all together and we were split up into groups of about 8 people, all from different design disciplines such as graphic design, moving image, interactive design...

A week long project, with our ideas being presented at the end of the week. Then on the 10th September we present the ideas again but this time at the BFI on the Southbank, infront of the public and a panel of people from industry.

We were set the brief - re-imagining your city

how can you inject artistic elements into your urban surroundings to brighten, enliven, improve everyday life for the inhabitants. re-imagining the city continues onedotzero’s ongoing investigations of the contemporary city experience, explored urbanism and the concept of the contemporary city, the impact of regeneration, migration flows, creative capital and urbanization of the city and the built environment. create a role where you are in charge of ideas to reshape and effect the city in a positive way.

deliver concepts that are real world interventions with online extension to support your visions and concepts. the full range of online tools should also be used to communicate, document, and map the projects developments and process. how can you connect the online community with the real community to your ideas?

Objectives:

1. network and meet graduates from other disciplines for future collaborations

2. understand and take advantage of learning other processes, vocabulary and perspectives from the various disciplines

3. this project is as much about the process you will go through and the conversations as it is about a final concept.

4. document the whole process to show how you arrived at your final concept, process is as important as the final result - you need to be able to demonstrate that

5. experiment and think about how you want to present your concept at the BFI - there are no rules - its up to you as a group

6. collaborate
