Hello all, This may be slightly off topic since it is more design oriented, but it may be of interest nonetheless.

The aim of the School is to > provide a joint forum for exchanging ideas design researchers in the > Nordic countries. It prepares the second Nordes conference that will > be in Stockholm in Summer 2007. > > The School consists of two parts, doctoral seminars and a workshop. > The doctoral seminar gives room for papers, plans, and discussion for > students. In the workshop, the participants will learn to design > locales using narrative methods for both understanding human > experience, and for designing it. > > The school takes place in Helsinki in two locales: the University of > Art and Design and Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) (for more information, go to > www.suomenlinna.fi/ > Svenska or > English). It is primarily meant > for Nordic students, but students from other countries may also apply. > > The workshop explores the notion of "spontaneous logistics," or a > "logistics of the sublime" in city space thorough narratives. City > space has been a subject of extensive aesthetization over history, but > today perhaps more so than ever before. The workshop explores the > critical potentials of aestheticization that are often conspicuously > absent from discussions in the human sciences and design. Building on > critical aesthetic ideas and its recognition of the notion of the > sublime, the workshop develops critical thinking towards how people > experience cities and spaces through the means of a performative > experiment building on design methods. > > > Practical information > > Applications must be sent by Friday, March 31 to research secretary > Johanna Korhonen to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications must have a > research plan or an abstract of he student's research interests, a > description of the stage of one's doctoral research, complete > addresses (incl. mail, e-mail, and telephone numbers), CV/Resume > (including a list of possible publications), and a description of > one's doctoral studies (i.e. the current number of credits/ects > points).
