2015 Design Build Intensive: MFA in Applied Craft + Design
The MFA in Applied Craft + Design degree program (AC+D) in Portland, OR (a joint program of Oregon College of Art and Craft and Pacific Northwest College of Art) begins each year with a 10 day pre-semester, collaborative Design Build Intensive project intended to help students get to know each other and learn how to work together by designing and building a project for an actual client who will benefit from the students' skills.
This year's collaborator is Outgrowing Hunger whose mission is "to get healthy food into the mouths of Hungry People". The organization "transforms unused private, public and institutional land into Neighborhood Gardens, where healthy food, resilient community, and economic opportunity spring up together". For this Design Build Intensive the AC+D students will focus on the East Portland Neighborhood Garden (EPNG), which provides personal gardening and fresh produce work-trade opportunities.
The East Portland Neighborhood Garden has plots that range from 360 – 1550 square feet, tended primarily by 115 Bhutanese, Burmese refugee and Latino immigrant families who literally live off of the garden's harvest. Many must commute up to two miles on foot to get to the garden, after which they often work 6 – 8 hours a day tending, harvesting and preparing traditional fermented vegetables. The entire site is almost 100% garden space with little area for rest and relief, not to mention protection from the rain and sun.
There is so much AC+D can do for EPNG!
The magic of the AC+D Design Build Intensive is the conversation and connection that happens between two communities who normally would not have come together. EPNG and ACD will meet to collaboratively discover the true needs of the community. It is clear already that there is much that can be improved. The design process will not begin until the students meet with the gardeners, but to give a sense of the potential scope the project could include: benches with shaded cover for tired gardeners and nursing mothers; raised beds with ADA accessibility for the Senior Gardens; a protective shed to secure the five wheelbarrows; a privacy shield for the portable restroom; a removable cover for the outdoor kitchen used to prepare the harvests for community and fundraising events, and the list goes on…
AC+D DESIGN BUILD: MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH MAKING
Designers in education and industry fields routinely and assuredly assert that design thinking strategies can deliver the “game-changing” ideas needed to address the critical and complex problems of our times. Frequently, however, it seems we’re seduced by and fall in love with the promise(s) of these ideas, and are less committed to following through with their actual realization with the same degree of passion. The AC+D Design Build Intensive is an effort to provide a ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ model of design education and practice of the first year MFA AC+D students working together designing and building a project for an actual client.
Emphasizing a philosophy of civic engagement, The AC+D Design Build Intensives are selected based on their potential to benefit an organization or population that generally does not have access to the services of designers, builders and makers. These projects put design thinking into action and solve local community problems.

Something spotted on the streets of London!
It's my daughter's Birthday this weekend, so it's off to Bristol for a bit of retail therapy and noodles for lunch!
One of the busiest weeks in a long time, so Alison Moyet in concert on Saturday, Paloma Faith in concert on Tuesday complete with a 42 piece orchestra/jazz band and finally saw the Vienna Festival Ballet perform Swan Lake on Thursday. Great fun, exhausting, but worth it! Will catch up with everyone as soon as I can....

Well, since her surgery on Monday, she's been eating hardly anything. Tonight, at dinnertime, it clicked in! "Take me to a restaurant!"
Ruby Tuesdays it was! And, boy, did she eat! The waiter was so impressed, (and moved by her story), that he bought her dessert.
It was good to see her eat.
This poignant shot was captured (some time back) in the slums of the so called IT-Capital, Silicon valley of Asia, Garden City, and what not....Bangalore. With all those unwanted IT development, the human beings are still in the state of disdain. Two meals a day is something which people are striving hard to get.
I was walking home after a tiring swim in Sport Authority of India. I passed through a slum and my eyes fell on these kids who were having their meals outside their hut. These kids were so delighted to have this bowl of rice that it brought smile on their face. Hunger is the worst enemy to mankind.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
Face down in the dirt
She said,This doesn't hurt
She said, I finally had enough ...

Every time a new year comes around people make resolutions. The need for a significant reason for new beginnings; Loose weight, diet, get in shape, be nicer, etc. I agree, these are all good things to aim for in your life; ways to better yourself and evolve. Yet I feel like they are lacking for me again this year, as they always have in the past. I need more, each year passes and I always fail to choose one and I think it's because I simply never found the right resolution for myself. After reading these books, I finally have ...
My resolution is to stand for something, to stand for myself. To shift my own inner powers and take control in ways I never dared to before.
So here's a picture of a Mockingjay; the symbol of hope, revolution, and a better future. Because these are the only things I wish for myself and those I love. To spread hope, start a self-revolution and create a better world for myself.
So here's to new beginnings, have a safe and happy New Year everyone. Thank you to everyone and anyone who supported me in any way.

Tony Rochford had been on hunger strike for 16 days when we were in Dublin. He was protesting the government's levying of a local property tax assumed to be used to pay back British bankers for their bailout of Ireland's economy.
City College staff, from all departments, joined Farmshare of America and Strike Out Hunger Food Drive in Alachua County to make a difference this holiday season. Over 800 families received an estimated 20 pounds of perishable and non-perishable food items. Great Job!!! The Team led by Gloria Ashley: Alicia Aikens, Gloria Ashley, Diane Colson, Renelle Debose, Mirvat Jamal, Ray Matura, Monica Pozo, Terra Slater.
