Honestly, things develop slowly and fast at the same time. But on the other hand: we are pretty much done.
So what do I mean?
Our group, thats Polina&Ben&Julia&Mai&Daniel, spend the day exploring 1 Euro Shops, supermarkets and interviewing locals to find out how the 104 project altered the social landscape of the neighbourhood. many people were unaware of the purpose of 104, but were also excited to learn about it from us. trying to get in real contact with local residents, we kind of entered the 25th floor of the opposite appartment building. There we were welcomened by a young family who let us enjoy a very fine view on the 104 complex from their balcony.
cheers and nastrowje.
Daniel and Polina.
