the news hit already on Monday evening - The Netherlands are shutting down - lockdown in order to decrease the numbers of Covid-19 infections, from Wednesday on the faculty will be closed ...
ok, we all had to take a deep breath and realised quickly that we only have one moire day to make use of the model hall in the faculty - after that we will all work from home...
Honestly I was crying out loud and felt as everything falls apart after the many different restrictions that were already in action - no building weeks with the full toolset, down to 18 tables in the model hall, from 10 days full to 6 days with limited persons accepted in the shop now the stop at day 4 ...
With mixed feelings Nadia and I arrived in the faculty already prepared to have some discussions about the whats and how's and how we are going to end this semester ...
but everything turned out different, the students switched over immediately - were smiling and prepared for a ist day together - all in the mood of - lets have a last day together and we will manage to get it done.
Already up in the Studio we were welcomed by cinnamon rolls and tea prepared from Felipe - yummy and down in the hall the students were busy but still smiling ... and after a short look we were amazed by the productivity of the groups the last days ...
I really think we can finish strong, and together we are able to make it happen - looking forward to the holidays but also towards the next year and the Final presentations of the semester. Till then we will stay in touch online.
Here a couple of moments I was able to capture
