Urban Realities - Site 2 - Urban Filler - Team 7 Blanket Solution - Day Two

Following the symposium, we decided to go to as many of the ten sites in the Docklands as we could.

We understand place through occupation. We stage happenings and we see what happens.
We stopped at each site, looked around, reacted, posed for the camera.
We now have a little memory of a happening at each site in the area. We hope to get more clues about the ecology as we occupy the site over the next three days.

We also understand place through communication. We start conversations, we share and we listen.
We stopped someone else at each site, a passer by, asked if they would help us take a picture.
We now have met some of the residents, the workers and the tourists in the area. We hope to form more relationships as we become a part of the ecology over the next three days.

We hope that Joe who works across the street and parks his car at NAB stops by again and shares more of his expert ideas about using projectors. We wished the trio of tourists from Sydney could have stayed a few extra days as they had so much enthusiasm and energy for the project. We hope to meet more of the residents who helped to save the garden. We are very encouraged by the traders who have offered us so much support and are so excited about something finally happening!

We hope you like the photos! Over the next three days, please come and down and say hi, we'd love to have your participation!
