Thanks to everyone for participating in this great project! And congratulations to the top nine teams!
All 310 students that participated in the Metropolis Charrette have done a fabulous job working collaboratively, and coming up with innovative solutions!
Out of 31 proposals, ten projects have been selected to be one of the TOP TEN fixes for our future
CONGRATULATIONS TO GROUPS # 1, 6, 9, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 28!
So what is next?
All ten groups are expected to give a Pecha Kucha style presentation (20 slides, 20 seconds per slide) to expand on their particular project (see http://www.pecha-kucha.org for the format.)
Electronic presentations are due to COLAB this coming Monday, January 25, by 3pm.
The groups will then be ready to present on Tuesday, January 26, at 7:30 pm, at Grant Auditorium, Law School. Please arrive promptly at 7:15. This final presentation is open to the public, and the best presentations will be awarded cash prizes.
The final presentations will be submitted to Metropolis Magazine at the end of next week for a chance to win the national competition.
There are less 10 minutes left to hand-in the initial presentations for the Metropolis Charrette, based on the 2010 Metropolis Magazine Next Generation Design Competition.
Over 300 students, divided into 31 groups, took over the Warehouse for this massive effort! The faculty in the department of design has been so supportive, giving guidance and advice to all the groups, in the quest to come up with the best fix for the future.
We are hosting our design faculty to go over all presentations, and to select the top ten 'fixes' that will be presenting on Tuesday.
Check back here tonight to see which groups have made it to the top ten. And please meet us this coming Tuesday @ Grant Auditorium, at 7:30 pm, for the final presentations.
Department of Design students in Syracuse University's College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) will challenge each other to propose the best design "fix," or improvement, to their environment when they compete Jan. 20-26 on campus in the 2010 Metropolis Magazine Next Generation® Design Competition.

Part of what we do at COLAB is to figure out innovative ways of visualizing problem-solving that can help explain to students and faculty what design and the visual arts bring to collaboration and scholarship. The workshop COLAB developed for the I-School is a one-hour model that can be brought to any discipline and applied to any process. It is the application of design thinking processes and methodology to bring in any problem, and generate innovative ideas and solutions.
Contact us to learn more about this workshop, and let us introduce visual thinking to your institution, organization, or community.
