Morning workshops with Berlin artist/designers Klaus Overmeyer, Tore Dobberstein and Andreas Haase, who will present some of their projects including temporary sports facilities or "sportification" for urban sites. Also, Natalie Pauken from the School of Visual Communication Design at Kent will discuss environmental graphics as a temporary use strategy.
