Workshop over

Well that's it the workshop is over. While it is the relief to get it completed there is still lots more work to do. 

We are having a meeting with the boxes of Springer. There is the Poster of course for Tuesday. Finally I seem to have a huge number of invites and potential collaborations, which is fantastic and what the workshop was all about. 

I quite like this image from one of the
Models people improvised. This was and attempt to communicate a vision of a redesigned union station display interface. 

Well done all!

Union station

Our team visited the station as example of deep information overload


Every surface is cluttered with information even the floor 

It's being refurbished but the coloums make it a isovist nightmare

Pre-workshop drinks

Wine Bar



  Many people have expressed a willingness to have a drink to get to know each other the night before the workshop. Naturally, some people will only just be arriving so there is no pressure to attend. We have organised a table at a wine bar from 7 o’clock onwards. This is only for drinks, but if you want to eat food is available. You can come and stay for as long or as little as you like. Our previous experience with workshops, shows that this is quite a good way to get to know people before the intensity of the workshop itself. 

7:00 -9:00 possibly later depending on jet lag.

I understand the neighbourhood is pretty friendly.  It’s a 16min walk from the convention centre along Front Street. 
I’m not sure if my phone will work, but in case it does my number is +44 (UK)  7908 649 double ZERO 5 

Ask for the Dalton party and I’ve told them we won’t know each other. My photo is on my home page
