TAKE A CHANCE PARTY REVIEW MAKE A CHANGE
ARCHITECTURE IS ABOUT PEOPLE! The workshop Take a chance,Make a change chose a ver y specific, thoughtful and yet really crucial topic for the people of Zuzemberk. Their main idea is to create a source of communication between two parts of Zuzemberk inhabitants, that are still at enmity with each other since WWII. Every day the participants have been discussing the theoretical issues, trying to find the best solution. What makes the discussions even more intense is that everyone has a personal experience,concerning the consequences of the war. Then, in order to define particular problems and wishes, they organized activities concerned with the locals. Some examples are wine tasting, preparing food together or rowing with the local sports club. Though, the main part of the workshop is quite theoretical and abstract, the workshop will have a touchable outcome. The participants found a perfect location(in the castle trench), which is public but at the same time intimate, where they plan to construct a bench with a frame. Through the frame you can see an amazing view of the town. The frame is a metaphore, saying that this great place is for everybody. On the bench there will be a space for anonymous notes, where you can write your thoughts without being judged. The participants also have an idea of a “sharing box”, where people will leave their treasures and hunt for other’s ones. This workshop has so much to say that it seems impossible to cover it all.
Last night’s Neon party had a slow start. The cold and rainy weather didn’t make for perfect party conditions and people seemed a bit tired from the sangria party the night before. After another great EASA TV episode quiteafewpeopledecidedtosnuggleupintheir beds for a good night’s sleep to gather up some energy for the last remaining days. The castle was emptier than it has been so far. The people who did stay gathered in the bar tent like penguins do to stay warm. Other warming up techniques were also spotted; what would be a better way to get close to a person than a little cuddle to fight the cold air.
The number one accessories of the night were glowing sticks that were handed outfrom the bar. EASians found new creative ways to decorate themselves with them bringing a colorful addition to the scene. Alex Maxwell was the DJ of the night and hisamazingsoundscouldn’tkeeppeopleaway from the dance field forever. Finally sometime after midnight the focus moved away from the bar to the dance floor and the party mood was back to its normal high standards till the castle gate closed. And what happened after the party? Ask Gossip Girl.
