This was the hihgly successful exhibition space for the ark dept. there is a need for a noticeboard for the school. There should be 2 way talk about this. See www.easa.antville.org for more details.
Dunk ASA-4th ark


DIT was a very lifeless school of architecture a few years ago. things started to change- more events, more interaction, a healthier spirit.
a result of this was the ASA (architectural students association)initiave to put up an exhibition space along a long, then unused, coridor.
it was a huge success with each week the space being used by a different year, from this further interaction between years and between ark and technology years happened
more of this productive exhibition and communication was intended this year.
at the first ASA meeting a member of staff from technology came in and informed us that we no longer had that space and that instead it was to be used for his year planner for the school. this planner will help things a bit but we feel that it can be positioned in another place in the school, a proper notice board should be constructed. there was also no consultation with us, the students on this issue, we were just told- its gone, we are using it now.
we feel that the keeping of this exhibition space is essential to further allow the spirit of the school to grow.
the start of the year planner went up 2 days ago, as a reaction against this. a note was put up yesterday, it was taken down.
as a furhter reaction i put my first project up- exhibited it and put up a note, stating what is written on top. an emergency meeting has been called for today at lunch time
we hope the students get behind this, see the importance of having this space and indeed that we do keep it.
