Here's what we spoke about in the turkish café

1.) about what:
- question people's residents' environment(s)
- to come up with ideas on how to make their life better

2.) by:
- talking
- actions*
:painting the floor - LOGO!!!
:planting things around [attention, care, appropriation]
:making use of the fence as means of communication [plastic bottles - message in a plastic bottle - chalkboards]
*) actions taken should already contain different ways of thinking and using the environment

3.) where:
- use the site as a communication platform for the people of the area to find out and communicate what they would like to have

+++++++++++++++++

RESEARCH:
- ways of mapping [may become obvious through investigation in the area]
- research how participatory processes have been dealt with in precedence projects
- tracing the everyday story of people living here
- investigation of targeted area [find out what's happening, about infrastructure, shops]

+++++++++++++++++

talk to Ed's father (the architect)

+++++++++++++++++

timetable for:
- questioning people
- research about precedence projects
- research and mapping about the area
- setting up the communication [including organizing exhibition, presentation of proposals, party, barbecue]
- collecting and evaluating responses
- decide what to do then [i.e. get horribly drunk and run naked around the city in an attempt to get arrested to have an excuse not to have to show up for the final presentation]
