hello ecverybody sorry for my long absence on the weblog ! but here i am ....

i'm thinking about giving a workshop in denmark. i'm doubting about the subject because in a way it has nothing to do with ecology, but on the other hand one can argue that it has its links in sustainability....

since a couple of weeks i'm working for a non-profit organization SUPERNOVa, it aims at offering a platform to a not well-known group of young Belgian architects to inform about their activities. Supernova created a website, where young architects can present their work on. In Belgium the platform works really well, so we aim to enlarge it to an european scale with the help of the ideas of the easa participants.

There are two different kinds of topics to focus on: 1. what tendencies are being continued? Is there a gap between the common knowledge of space and the range of ideas by young architects? Are the recurring themes similar in other countries? .... 2. How to judge architecture? And how the find a way to collect, bring together or cluster projects? How to find a mathematic 3D structure to present architecture on the web? Supernova is focusing on the principle of cluster analysis: how should a collection of objects or individuals, each characterized by a set of variables, be decomposed into homogeneous subgroups? The need to classify in more than 3 dimensions, the large size of many datasets, and the requirement for objective procedures have resulted in the development of automatic classification procedures, the cluster analysis.

As you can see, a lot to think about and a lot to filter before i can shape into a workshop.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

let me know ! thanx margareta
