Review article: The end of homework - Kerry, Trevor
The article reviews the book 'The End of Homework' by Etta Kralovec and John Buell, Boston:Beacon Press, 2000. It takes a broadly sympathic stance to their view that homework is socially divisive, stress-laden, and an out-dated concept in the information age. It suggests alternative approaches to the use of school time to make learning more efficient and effective.

The quality of sustainability and the nature of open source software - Böttcher, Jens
The aim is to categorise Open Source Software as a commons based production process and resource. The definition of the commons is always accompanied by the doubt about its sustainability, the so-called "tragedy of the commons." Therefore it is worth to have a closer look on Open Source and why a "tragedy" does not appear.

An exploration of narrative as a research method - Joyce, Maria
Narrative derives from a long history of literary tradition and is increasingly used as a research method. Narrative in essence is the stories of our lives and the stories of the lives of others. Narrative is open to interpretation. This interpretation develops through collaboration of researcher and respondent or story teller and listener. Narrative, explored through interpretive research allows access to the respondent reality via their socially constructed stories. As a term it is a many sided concept. This paper considers the distinct features of narrative, highlighting the potential for overlap within the terms of life history, life incidents, story...

Dragon girl - Peacock, Irvine (Brian)
As part of an integral aspect of his ongoing visual research and in collaboration with his agents Meiklejohn Illustration, Peacock researches, prototypes and develops new experimental free standing images for a wide variety of international collaboration. This includes street-level dissemination media such as poster, print, limited edition print, stickers, greetings cards, jigsaw puzzles, calendars, lunch boxes, stationery etc. His work has been used by leading publishers (including Scandecor, Wizard and Genius, Athena) world wide and has been constantly circulated in the public domain for many years. The image ‘Dragon Girl’ was formulated to develop on the appeal of fantasy specifically...

Hinterland - Starszakowna, Norma
Commissioned by arts commissioning body Art in Partnership, on behalf of Scottish Parliament, following international competition, ‘Hinterland’ was permanently installed in the new Scottish Parliament Building designed by Enrico Miralles. The installation comprises 18 individual sections of digitally printed translucent organza, taking up some 7 x 3 metres. Each was subsequently screen printed on both surfaces with heat-reactives, glaze and various media, creating a palimpsest of translucent filmic imagery, visceral erosions of three-dimensionally embossed textures and active oxidised surfaces. These methods created a physical, visual continuum that reflected research undertaken in Scotland’s political, social and physical landscape, its cultural history...

Fabrics for Shirin Guild - Starszakowna, Norma
Commissioned by Shirin Guild Ltd. for Shirin Guild Collection Spring/Summer 2004. Design samples included new developments of innovative fabrics Starszakowna produced for Issey Miyake 1990/92, including the crush-shibori/high-pressure pigment print subsequently used in Miyake’s collections and later exploited by his then studio designers, Yoshiki Hishinuma, Junichi Arai and Reiko Sudo, who subsequently developed a printed textiles capacity at Nuno Corp, Tokyo. These textiles combined traditional Japanese shibori concepts with a Western aesthetic, effectively creating a paradigm shift in the hitherto dye-based Japanese textile culture (“For ‘crush’ prints, Norma Starszakowna has led the way……had great influence, via Japan,… Her rust series……makes...

[Design of] Woodland Sustainable Community Hall, Hill Holt Wood, Lincolnshire - Sodagar, Behzad
The research was undertaken as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, value £100k between Lincoln School of Architecture and Hill Holt Wood, a Social Enterprise. It was initiated to develop a range of innovative “off-grid” autonomous eco-buildings, starting with a Woodland Community Hall to contribute towards the process of educating the UK’s design and construction sectors in sustainable building practices. The design developed in conjunction with architects Simons Design, involved extensive research into material performance properties, use of materials in terms of their availability and buildability and the best combination of sustainable design principles against embodied and process energies. The...

[Design of] the Gill House, Kingston upon Hull - Wright, Richard
The Gill House’ incorporated two streams of investigation firstly, the application of industrial building methods within a domestic building context. Secondly, the relationship between research practice and teaching, and the practical application of design methods used within an academic environment. One of the primary aims of the building project was to explore the possible application of industrial building methods to a domestic dwelling. This was partly instigated by a need to produce a very cost effective design but also by the client’s desire for an overtly contemporary and flexible building design. In response the main structure was steel framed with...

[Design of] three houses, Kingston upon Hull - Wright , Richard
The ‘Three Houses’ designs are for a site adjacent to ‘The Gill House’. The project is live and has been submitted for planning permission with the decision pending. The project was conceived as a vehicle to explore sustainable house design and the use of modular timber framed prefabricated construction techniques. It was also used as a further opportunity, following the ‘Gill House’ to explore the knowledge transfer relationship of research practice and teaching. The house designs are based around the use of a composite frame (steel and timber) construction. Steel elements are incorporated to allow the inclusion of shading devices...

Modernisation of foresight methodology: reflexivity and the social construction of knowledge. A note to authors in COSTA22 - Fuller, Ted; De Smedt, Peter
Following a very interesting discussion during and after the Final MC in Brussels this week, We offer you some thoughts of guidance on how you might take account of the Action in your publications that are COSTA22-inspired. We refer in particular to the planned books and special editions.
The key idea from COSTA22 was a modernisation of methodology in support of the wider use of foresight methods amongst a diversity of contexts.
The aphorism <> underlies an overt recognition of the socially constructed nature of <> and the reflexivity that operates in constructing meaning from this...

16th London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2002: brochure design - Lingwood, Gyles
British Film Institute, National Film Theatre. This project involved the design and print production of the festival program and advertising for the British Film Institute’s 16th London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2002. The 32-page program was the integral document of the two-week film festival that detailed the events of the British Film Institute’s largest event at the National Film Theatre (100,000 print run). Commissioned by the British Film Institute, Lingwood’s brief required an original and thought-provoking concept and design that would avoid the multitude of lesbian and gay visual clichés and that would not offend or shock. Getting the...
