OS House Awardshow





On June 21st the OS house Awardshow was taking place at the TU Delft.
The Open Source House project facilitated by Enviu is an open source
design competition for a sustainable house that will be realized in Ghana.




The Winners!



The OS house project is the facilitator of the competition and the creator
of the online platform that Architects used to submit and browse submissions,
the open source approach made it possible for architects to share ideas and
take different concepts from other architects and develop the ultimate
sustainable house.





The Awardshow was the pinnacle of this project since it was the public
announcement of which design has made the most impact with the judges.
Not only was this a big event for everyone that was involved in the project
from a designing point of view but also for the organizers of the whole
project this Awardshow promised lots of work, stress but also great rewards
as it turned out to be a great success.

I was involved in the organization of the event and was responsible for
setting up a Twitter wall at the event and broadcasting a Livestream to our
online community.




The Livestream turned out great, just how we anticipated. We made it possible
for the many architects that were from from all parts of the world and that
couldnt attend the awardshow to see it online. There were 170 people watching
during the award ceremony. We had Moscow, Kiev, Valencia, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin,
Beijing, and more watching the stream.




The Twitter wall turned out to be a great conversation starter and showed the innovation
factor of Enviu. A great addition this time was the image link for the twitter fountain. The
Twitter fountain has a Flickr feature. With this feature we were able to stream pictures in
the background of the Fountain.  


Here are some more pictures of the awardshow.

Obviously Ironic, Takao Nakano is using the
one old school movie theme that Tarantino didnt
tackle himself but had Robert Rodriguez direct
in his double feature Grindhouse.




Open Source House Awardshow

I have been asked to set up a Livestream and Twitter wall
of the Open Source House Awardshow for Enviu on the 21st
of June. Here are some videos of su setting up the Event...

Jean Tinguely aka Terry Gilliam, not really but nearly...

It is not easy to capture the essence of Jean Tinguely´s
work in words or any other medium. You have to confront
one of his super size "metamechanics" in order to to
truly experience the surrealism that he indulges you in.
The closest way to explain how his works affected me
is by comparison to another artist which I have become
somewhat of a fan of, Terry Gilliam. Standing infront of
Tinguelys art works transported me into one of Terry
Gilliams movies...

Adidas Rotterdam Flagship Opening Campaign

The creative people at Adidas have come up with an
extraordinary advertising campaign. Adidas has
positioned Oversized Shoeboxes around the city to
advertise for the upcoming opening of the new store.
Not terribly original, I guess its been done before
but Im still glad that Rotterdam is subject to a
campaign that goes out of the ordinary and creates
a buzz, unlike the mainstream generic mess that we
am subject to everyday.

More EnviuLive!











Some more of the EnviuLive PixelPost-it Art piece done by Juan and I.
It was very interesting to see the Visitors of the party to take
on the role of the Implementers. A second of not paying attention on Juans and
my part lead to a little bit of a mistake, as you can see the yellow in the face
is not the same throughout the piece. This happened because
one of the Guests picked up the wrong yellow (it was very hard to 
keep apart from the other yellow). Tip: for next time choose less similar
colors :D


Here is also the Slideshow that I made for the Greenphone. Somehow 
converting it to .mov swallowed the nice little slide animations but okay
they were not that impressive anyways ;)

Enviu InnovatiePlatform Final Presentation


 







Enviu/InnovatiePlatform

Enviu was commissioned to carry out some research for the
Innovatie Platform Netherlands. The Research Question 
was "How can the Netherlands become one of the top 5 
Knowledge Economies in the world?" 





IP is trying to create a vision that inspires and attracts people to support them.  
Enviu has a young, diverse network from which the IP would like to get input.
 
Using Social Media is a way to approach different large groups. We want to 
get feedback on the Vision of IP by as many young people as possible so therefore 
social media are applicable. The fact that Social Media played a big part in this 
project made it possible for me to become a part of it as an expert on Social Media.

GOALS:


Get input from young entrepreneurial people on how to make the Netherlands more 
competitive and in the top 5 of ‘knowledge economies’
 
Results:
Mainly qualitative
Maybe 1 poll for some quantitative results

Deadline: 5 March all results must be there.


In order to answer this question and get as much feedback from our 
network as possible we created a social media strategy and planned 
our approach. 

We came up with several approaches to generate ideas and use our 
network to come up with qualitative answers and in the end we 
decided that we would  use a couple of tools: Brainstorms, Webchats,
Blogs, Social Networks.

We approached our network every day to ask questions and engage in a
dialogue, which turned out very well with lots of qualitative answers
and great ideas. This was a little bit unexpected because we were asking
complex questions but we received the answers that we were looking for.

As the Social Media Expert I created a blog that we used to Document
the progress of our Research and took care of the communication on 
our Profiles. See the blog by clicking the pic below:


Due to some feedback and competency issues the blog that I had 
designed changed to something that Enviu had decided to make their 
corporate template, which wasnt communicated to me and heavily
undermined my motivation until I remembered that basically 
internal communication is the great weakness of Enviu and I let 
it slide. Here is the banner that I created for the blog, which was themed
orange (one of Envius colors, now its something else??? 
click the YEWL logo to see). I still do not understand why it was changed
to what it was changed to since the argument of always using the same
is not really valid when it has nothing to do with your other 
visual communication. Whatever!


After these few little miscommunications we approached the big 
physical brainstorm session that we were expecting quite a lot from. For 
this Brainstorm session we invited some heavy hitters in our network and 
created a very easy going, lively but still constructive and critical round.

 For the Brainstorm session we decided to stream it live to the web using a 
web cam chat format. Through this we could stream a video of the brainstorm 
and at the same time converse with the viewers of the brainstorm. In order to get
the viewers to have an active role in the Brainstorm we beamed the image of the 
webcam chat onto a wall and the people in the room were able to see what the online 
community would comment on. 

This is the webcaster of livestream.com


We encountered countless little problems, which all were a result
of a lack of experience. This experience is now gained and will result
in a very interesting follow up session. Points of Improvement:

Equipment: need better camera, better microphone
Planning: make sure to have backup wifi, always have
elect. extension chords, get to know location before hand,
separate roles: technical/content

All in all I am very happy with the experience that i have made
during this project. I have picked up a competency and am confident
that I can carry out this task on a professional level next time
an opportunity like this comes along.
