Impressions of the Workshop
-Chrysostomoss NikolopoulosHaving presented my Diploma Project on the 21/2/2000 at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and having already decided to participate at the Waseda Bauhaus School Workshop in Saga it just took me a plane ticket to leave Greece. The trip in itself was rather interesting since within a 30 hour period I had contact with the Zurich Airport, the Kansai Airport, the city of Fukuoka and finaly Saga (this was Definitely more experience input than I was used to during the last months, when most of the time I was staying home working on the project).
I didn't actually know what to expect from the workshop since Japanese language ability was extremely limited. The solution for the communication problem as it turned out to be one of a more good will nature. This ought to be proven by the everyday communication which is a rather interesting situation and sometimes rather amusing for my contract persons, (especialy when I am trying to speak japanese) Some how it seems that in a very peculiar anglo-japanese context it works rather well.
The content of the lectures though is the real loss. The revision which I am given to by fellow students or tutorial staff afterwards are very helpful and by following the visual material while asking (sometimes rather annoying...) questions I usually get a slight feeling of it but it is not even close to really tutorial. Nevertheless, something which is coming through even without the perception of the content is the aura of some of the spokespersons. For instance although I didn't really understand what Mr. Sakata was saying I definetely was fascinated by his personality and the lecture he gave.
The working environment is definitely very interesting. The composition of the pre-fab buildings framed by the creek and the container in front was the first photograph I actually took in Saga. When I started my travel I rather considered that work would take place in something closer to a sterile office space. I must admit that the actual space is close to what I personally really like and consider very creative working space.
The general impression which I got from the work at Prof. Ishiyama's Workshop is extremely good and therefore my desire to study at the Waseda University is now even higher. I just hope that everything will work out well and that I will be able to do so soon.
