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.

Here's the left rear fender with it's first coat of POR-15,a second coat will follow when this is just about touch dry.
A close up of one of the feet applied to the case. With a combination of the weight of the case and the rubber feet, your Poker will feel mounted to your desk.
The back still needs fine sanding but we went ahead and applied a coat of tru oil to the figured top.. Just couldn't wait to see this come to life!
Whilst rooting around some old box`s of bike bits,I came across this.! Obviously from one one my old bikes.At the time this was the thing to do when your road fund licence had ran out,in the days before number plate recognition cameras etc,etc.Happy days.

This log home had its existing finish removed by ozzying (sanding) it off. We the washed the building and applied a borate tratment to the bare wood surface. After the logs were dry we applied two coats of Sashco Capture (Sequoia) log home finish. In between coats we applied caulking in any checks 1/4" or larger. We used Conceal caulking (Santa Fe Trail) for this project. We then applied the final clear coat to protect the caulking and logs from harmful UV damage.

De Andere Markt - Funghilab
in C-mine designcentrum Genk
How can the circular economy be applied
to a local context, starting with available
local skills?
Funghi Lab is an exploratory process of designing, testing and prototyping of a system to produce, distribute and market mushrooms from waste material in Genk. In several cities the potential of growing food based on organic waste material has been explored. Some of these possibilities are now concretely experimented with and tested in Genk. During this experiment existing tools and techniques will be used and brought together in a new system adapted to the context of Genk during a series of labs with local partners.
Funghi Lab was conceived in the design research lab De Andere Markt in Genk that imagines the future of work with citizens. De Andere Markt maps the existing skills of the citizens. As a result of this mapping process different projects to develop workstations have been kick-started. Because of the abundant presence of skills surrounding food (growing vegetables, beekeeping, composting, etc), the lab developed a great interest in designing food-workstations with the community. The project Funghi Lab is thus one of such work-stations.
During MANUFACTUUR 3.0 Ben Hagenaars and Pablo Calderón Salazar will design a system to grow and market mushrooms in three phases and in collaboration with local actors: the collection of fresh coffee grounds that are abundant in the neighbourhood of Winterslag, the marketing and distribution of the mushrooms. The main ambition of Funghi Lab is to support local actors in designing and testing different
processes of producing, distributing and marketing mushrooms based on their skills. At MANUFACTUUR 3.0, all the Funghi Lab experiments will be made open source, which means that the results will be shared within the community to develop them further.

As our environment undergoes its digital transformation, what might be understood as ’objective’ reality is increasingly being modified by a superimposed virtual realm. Virtual reality and mixed reality technologies are laying the foundation for a transition to a new form of mass media. At the same time a global pandemic has subjected the dream of a new virtual and networked world to a wake-up call. Social distancing temporarily shuttered cultural spaces and educational institutions, and the need for virtual spaces and meeting places continues to grow. What do these worlds look like? Which rules should apply to them? Who is allowed to participate in them? The exhibition ARTIFICIAL REALITY – VIRTUAL INTELLIGENCE showcases student projects that deal with these questions: By means of a Brain Computer Interface, the emotional state of the participant influences the perception of the virtual world. The exhibition explores the limits of human cognition by linking the physically experienced environment and a simultaneously projected minimally altered VR environment, resulting in a form of psychic dissonance. Ongoing dialogue with a voice assistance system creates new virtual worlds and reproduces the themes of power and powerlessness vis-à-vis an omnipresent intelligent machine. The works, all created during the Corona pandemic in distance learning programs, address relevant social issues raised by digital transformation processes: ARTIFICIAL REALITY BIG ART GENERATIVE DATA and VIRTUAL INTELLIGENCE.

Light HDR applied, mainly to lighten the hills along the horizon - otherwise, the clouds themselves look exactly as shot. Strictly speaking, this is pseudo-HDR, as it was made from a single image, which I did because I was having registration problems - too much of the foreground stuff was blowing around in the wind.
As for the portent heralded by the sky - well, it rained a lot this weekend.
I hated to apply all those stickers to the dark-blue goodness of the clean brick.
