Exhibit Space
Exhibit space will be available for showing artifacts. Space must be reserved by July 1. To make arrangements for space, send a request with the dimensions of your piece(s) to John Belt <belt@oswego.edu>. Please bring a card with a brief description of your work for display in the exhibit area.
Representative Workshop Topics
Presentations should relate to the concept of structure in some way. We interpret the concept of structure in its broadest terms ("A structure is a self-stabilizing energy-event complex." Synergetics, 600.02). Representative topics include architecture, model-building, atomic, molecular, and biological structures, theories of structure, mathematical structures, educational, business, social and political structures, etc. Of course, some relationship to Synergetics ought to be included.
Presentation Outline
Due 1 June 2005
Include an updated "statement of interest" (including a "final" estimate of costs for materials) as well as a detailed outline of topics to be covered. Submit Workshop Outline to cjf@CJFearnley.com
