Core77

It's getting close to this year's IxDA Interaction Design Conference, and it's shaping up to be barn-burner. The conference is sold-out, and with the addition of the international student competition, pre-conference workshops by an all-star roster including Indi Young, Dan Saffer, and Steve Portigal, and an art exhibition exploring the concept of interaction ("What is interaction about? Behavior? Response? Is it Conscious? Deliberate?) there will certainly be something for everyone in attendance.

While not billing itself so far as an "unconference," the organizers are quick to point out that instead of a hotel, IxDA10 takes place in a theater, a restaurant, a pharmacy, a library, a public square, and a blacksmith's quarters. And the latest addition to the program are walking tours of historic savannah during the Friday and Saturday lunch hours. Yes!

Friday lunchtime: This explores Savannah's founding, history, architecture, and unique city plan through visits to several of the city's beautiful squares, monuments, and key buildings. Led by E.G. Daves Rossell, Professor of Department of Architectural History.

Saturday lunchtime: This tour focuses on the celebrated Savannah urban plan and the civic, religious and residential architecture and monuments that give the city its distinctive character. The tour will focus on Bull Street, the historic spine of the downtown area. Led by Robin B. Williams, Ph.D. Chair, Department of Architectural History.

Coroflot will be sponsoring the Recruiting Fair, and don't forget that Core77's Allan Chochinov will be doing a presentation on Saturday at 12 in the Theatre entitled Girls and Women: Object Lessons in the Primacy of Interaction. Be sure to check that out...you know...before you head out on the walking tour!
