Movement story

Fire could be seen everywhere in the building, I tried to use the fire extinguisher but it was empty! Naz was trying to reach the windows by walking on tables, we all were confused. I was walking into the room to find anybody who needed help. Emily was looking for a gate which may have a way to another floor. Mahya tried to find the cause of the fire to control it but it was hidden behind the smoke so we all decided to find a mobile phone and ask for help!

EPC Workshop, Back to Nature

Image
For this session, we bought a piece of furniture from a charity shop and turned it into a new object. Me, Maryam and Qazaal decided to buy an old wooden cupboard which was useless and bring it to the EPC workshop which had lots of challenges for us!  After we took the cupboard from the shop to the workshop, we started to take the pieces apart and we shared the wooden pieces between us.  Then I had to make a decision that what kind of object do I what to make out of this cupboard! I was looking for something practical and useful for people and also something which is related to the nature due to the originality of the cupboard. The cupboard was made of wood, glasse and the  metal screws, all these materials came from the nature, so I decided to make something that can be used near the trees, in nature. One of my challenges when I go picnic in the jungle or spend time in a local park on weekends, is to put my stuff (a cup of tea or my iPad) on a flat surface, so I thought t...

Space, Time and Everyday Life.

We had Pages 6-27 of Henri Lefebvre’s  Rhythmanalysis: Space, Time and Everyday Life as our reading task for week 7. In "Rhythmanalysis," Henri Lefebvre explores our daily routines, like chores and social activities, to uncover hidden patterns and meanings. He believes that by understanding these repeating rhythms, we can gain insights into how society works. Lefebvre also looks at how modern life, with its fast pace and technology, influences our sense of time and space. The book encourages us to think about how our daily habits and the world around us are connected in meaningful ways. After reading this text, I realized how closely we can examine issues. Rhythms exist everywhere in anything and manifest themselves in different ways. They are more comprehensive in STEM subjects as problem-solving methods and in human perspective. We tend to forget that rhythms have a natural aspect and focus more on the mechanical and man-made aspects. Money sets the rhythm for making things...

Earth and Technology

For this week we had pages 1-14 'The Mangle in Practice,' from Andrew Pickering. In this book he introduces the concept of the "mangle" as a way to understand the complex interactions between humans and technology. Instead of viewing these relationships as predictable and linear, Pickering suggests that they are more like dynamic, evolving processes. He provides examples from scientific and technological practices to illustrate how both humans and machines shape and influence each other in unpredictable ways. The book explores how technologies emerge, evolve, and are continually transformed through interactions with human agents. This perspective challenges traditional views of technology as a passive tool and emphasizes the active, reciprocal relationship between people and the technologies they create and use. It provides a nuanced understanding of the intertwined nature of human actions and technological developments. From this text I realized that When we don'...
