In her poetry of the everyday, "Mascha" (Die Mascha) absorbed the urban life of Berlin, as 'lyrical stenographer' and chronicler of the city, from conveying the energy of the weekend's hit musical tune to Tuesday's lonely evening with a few photos of an ex-lover. From feverishly glowing hot rooves to the train departing at 09.07.
<i>(Das lyrische Stenogrammheft, 1933)
"Ich sitz in meinen Stammcafé
es ist schon spät. Ich gähne…
Ich habe Sehnsucht nach René
Und außerdem Migräne"</i>
...I sit in the café
...It is late, I yawn
...I miss René
...but I have a migraine
[transl. GC]
Renate Hoffman's 2019 entry in the "Blättchen", entitled 'A reader's letter to Mascha', takes us wandering the streets of Berlin, window shopping through Tauentzien high street, and into the Emperor's Memorial Church on a July evening, and her lines of verse come alive.
<i>"Mit Mascha Kaléko schlendert man durch Berlins Straßen, über den Tauentzien und in einer Julinacht zur Gedächtniskirche. Plötzlich gewinnen ihre Verszeilen Leben:
„Die Dächer glühn als lägen sie im Fieber. / Es schlägt der vielgerühmte Puls der Stadt. / Grell sticht Fassadenlicht. Und hoch darüber / Erscheint der Vollmond schlecht rasiert und matt …“
Schlägt der Puls der Stadt langsamer, zu vorgeschrittener Stunde, dann klingt der Abend in träger Müdigkeit aus:
„Jetzt ruhn auch schon die letzten Großstadthäuser. / Im Tanzpalast ist die Musik verstummt / Bis auf den Boy, der einen Schlager summt. / Und hinter Schenkentüren wird es leiser. …“ („Spät nachts“)
Melancholie schleicht sich ein und die Dichterin hegt quiemelige Gedanken:
„Ich sitz in meinem Stammcafé / Es ist schon spät. Ich gähne … / Ich habe Sehnsucht nach René / Und außerdem Migräne. / Der große Blonde an der Bar / Schickt einen Brief. – Beim Lesen / Denke ich: zu spät. Vor einem Jahr / wär der mein Typ gewesen …“
Sie lässt den „Frühling über Berlin“ aufblühen und schildert einen „Sonntagmorgen“ in der Stadt. Es hat wohl seine Bewandtnis damit, dass man M. K. auch eine Dichterin der Großstadt nannte.</i>
The Berliner spring time blossoms, and a quiet Sunday morning in the city is signposted by the urban poet.

In my chapter, I describe the banners I made for Pori, and their connection to the Bare House project, to the streets of peri-urban Ulaanbaatar, and to this blog about living as an "architect-teacher-trainer" in Ulaanbaatar.</div>
<br />
"The future of architecture and streets in peri-urban Ulaanbaatar is in the hands of people like Gursed, Lkhagvaa, Uyanga and Delgerdalai..." (p.83)<br />

My experience of professional development in Mongolia was very slow and incremental compared to my experience elsewhere.<br /><br />I was often approached to work with community and activist groups in Ulaanbaatar,<br />and the college’s entrepreneurial approach created interesting architectural projects, despite needing to work within difficult constraints. Two ‘live’ studio projects – for Eco-Houses and a Childrens Camp – presented opportunities to study architectural processes of site analysis and brief development.<br /><br />Over the year I was there, I believe the teachers enhanced their understanding about accessible and energy-efficient construction, about principles of project management, like time management and team planning, about site analysis and project planning, about organising client meetings and briefings, and about researching and writing architectural programme briefs for projects.<br /><br /><br />It will be a real challenge for these teachers - and for the association of architects in Mongolia - to continue to develop these processes.<br /><br />In two live projects – ‘Sanzai Eco-houses’ and ‘Yarmag Children’s Camp’- newly trained<br />architects (like Mr, Lhkagvaa and Mr. Gursed) and architecture students aimed to incorporate participatory practice in their design projects, consulting with clients, and exploring options for site analysis.<br /><br />Questions raised in an outside analysis of these processes by students at Sheffield University<br />included, for example;<br />How is traditional architecture valued by clients and designers of such projects, in the development of these peri-urban areas?<br />Can traditional Mongolian Gers still be considered an effective option for rapid-deployment, sustainable, informal settlement?<br />These researches are now being pursued locally by Purev-Erdene Ershuu at MUST and by Michael Fuerst, with the technical support of the international agency GTZ.<br /><br />There are many lessons to be learned from the issues of peri-urban settlement in Mongolia, and further suggestions could be made on which issues could be further explored in future work on architecture in development being undertaken in Mongolia.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-56385196434075505442009-01-24T21:05:00.015+00:002010-02-03T17:24:14.471+00:00architect teacher trainer<a href="http://www.adelaide.edu.au/lumen/issues/26241/news26323.html#Construct"></a><br /><img style="FLOAT: left;

Travelling by train halfway across the world has been a great personal and developmental journey.<br /><br />The year working on architectural education in central Asia, and learning about and practicing 'international development' is fresh in my mind, and I do not yet know what it will all mean in the long term. I have seen some interesting job opportunities and been offered work on an RIBA project for a week. A new research project on public space in London also caught my attention. I am thinking about how to bring my experience to bear in my future work, and have promised to report reflections on this to VSO one year hence.<br /><br />"You have achieved nothing" - the farewell from the drunken Director of the college on the day before I left - still irks me, although I know it was meant 'ironically'. I was pleased that an experienced and highly capable Mongolian colleague, someone who is at arms length from the college, has kindly undertaken to translate the final report and my 'significant change' story. But the language alone will not convey the messages of the report to the 'stakeholders'. Understandably, they will be reluctant to consider the implications of sustained investment- much needed time planning, staff development and pursuing processes of organisational change, as they are busy in the everyday life of teaching (and administering) in a growing college, and finishing construction of the new college building.<br /><br />Correspondents and colleagues have recently written to me and supported the blog project and I look forward to seeing what can come from it. As I leave for a visit to my birthplace, I am reading 'Wolf Totem', a novel about Mongolia which brings ancient layers of animal myth and nomadic practices into focus. With my recent experience I am able to continue learning more about the sedentary and nomadic ways of life and survival.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-33853007644317049682008-09-11T03:17:00.010+00:002008-09-14T06:41:44.864+00:00Accessible, Mobile in China<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadologist/2835560576/in/set-72157607153081562"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/2835560576_82835782d7_b.jpg" border="0" /></a>After passing paralympian tourists circling the Forbidden City (pic) on my bicycle in Beijing, I am in Shanghai, a city of 15-20 million whose sheer population density prompts amazing adaptations for mobility of the most diverse modes of transport of goods through the city. The subway system is incredibly complex and the bicycle seems to be for traffic experts, so I have been riding in taxis, trying to comprehend this city's '<a href="http://shanghai.urbanatomy.com/">urbanatomy</a>'. I visited the <a href="http://www.supec.org/">Urban Planning museum</a> (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUETL7lgXaI">Youtube</a>) with its enormous <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX78artRJ-c&NR=1">model</a> of Shanghai. The form and the presentations are mostly spectacular, but I wonder about the real cultural processes of renewal, regeneration and 'development' here. I thought perhaps I might take to the river, for another perspective.<br /><br />After leaving landlocked Mongolia, I have also just read, on <a href="http://tournet.ning.com/">Tour Watch</a>, of some soon-to-be published "Waypoint - Backstrom" Principles for accessible maritime architecture, and it reminded me of architects' role in widening the accessibility of environments, not only on land in the developing world but also on water. I enjoyed sailing on the Swan River on my last visit to my home town Perth, where I will visit again this month.<br /><br />Excerpt from the Waypoint - Backstrom Principles:<br />1) Begin with Universal Design<br />The principles of Universal Design are an essential element of seaworthiness. Assumptions of the abilities (physical, mental, or sensory functionality) of crew or passengers as constant over time in any single individual or uniform throughout the population of owners and users of the watercraft throughout its lifespan are to be questioned.<br /><br />2) Design for Self-Sufficiency<br />Watercraft are the insertion of a terrestrial into a maritime environment. Pay attention to both social sustainability (Universal Design) and environmental sustainability (green design).<br /><br />3) Design for Extraordinary Conditions<br />Maritime practice traditionally assigns clearly-defined shipboard roles and responsibilities. Design assumptions follow. Assumptions about the abilities (physical, mental, or sensory) of the idealized role-holder as they are designed into products, spaces, and practices may prove to be disastrous in emergency situations.<br /><br />4) Design for Modularity and Revision<br />While a core tenet of Universal Design is that the design be sufficient "without special or separate design" the frequency of maintenance necessary for watercraft, especially in a saltwater environment, leads to frequent opportunities for upgrade to accommodate the range of abilities in crew and passengers.<br /><br />5) Design for Seamless Intermodal Transfer<br />Sophisticated and efficient systems have been developed to load and unload watercraft, haul them ashore, or transport them.<br /><br />- see <a href="http://tournet.ning.com/">Tour Watch</a><br />more information:<br /><a href="http://www.rollingrains.com/">The Rolling Rains Report</a><br />Dr. Scott Rains, Consultant, San Jose, CA <a href="mailto:srains@oco.net">srains@oco.net</a> ,<br />Sherri Backstrom, Director Waypoint Yacht Charter Services<br /><a href="mailto:sherri@waypointcharter.com">sherri@waypointcharter.com</a><br />4648 Lakeway Drive Bellingham, WA 98229<br /><br />After Mongolia, I have again been appreciating bicycles - a simple and ingenious form of urban transport ;<br />Some links -<br />Recently featured in AJ, The <a href="http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/reviews/otherreviews/2008/09/meet_the_creator_of_moulton_bicycles__slideshow.html;jsessionid=80D7FA15F24CFA6813DCBA8C92272A5E?tmcsTrackingInfo=$Ng71rcSS9DT5udtKzIsMRzOtPXxvjVyla50v7ET4iQ0uoQKa5zx98wR3QYn04feGp77stiAJwbI$">Architects Journal</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28288777@N08/sets/72157607109260919/">Alex Moulton, creator of Moulton Bicycles</a> a favourite of Reyner Banham and Norman Foster and<br /><a href="http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/dailynews/2008/09/call_for_designs_to_improve_londons_cycle_spaces.html">Improving London's Bicycle Spaces</a> - an ideas competition<br />and from Banff's Art Centre; Art on a Bicycle<br /><a href="http://www.songbike.com/">Songbike</a> - <a href="http://www.trustbetraytrust.com/">Touring Banff on a bicycle</a>nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-71447924057586703152008-09-04T03:27:00.017+00:002008-09-09T06:57:41.801+00:00Forbidden City<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.berkeleyprize.org/essay/essay.cfm?year=2008"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.berkeleyprize.org/essay/2008/photos/intro_RH.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I read some of Master Chu's 'homilies for families' while in UB, preparing for China.

I was consulted relatively autonomously by the Mongolian Construction Ministry, Mongolian Wheelchair Citizens (МТИХ), World Vision (Bayankhoshuu), and the Gender Centre for Sustainable Development in the 8th Khoroo. But the two live architectural projects we undertook collaboratively in the college, in Sanzai and Yarmag, provided the most concrete opportunities for training architect teachers. The work can potentially have a long term impact with the existing teachers - Bolormaa, Tsenguune, Ariunaa, Hashbayar - and new teachers, Lhagva and Gursed (with their students Delger-Dalai and Tumen Od). The former developed their understanding about Accessible and Energy-Efficient construction, about Project Management principles, like time management and team planning, about Site Analysis and Architectural Project <a href="http://www.architecture.com/NewsAndPress/News/RIBANews/Press/2008/RIBALaunchesNewJobBookAndPlanOfWork.aspx">Planning</a>, how to organise client meetings and briefings, and how to research and write architectural programme briefs for projects.<br /><br />I feel confident that with support from the college, the teachers, Bolormaa, Tsenguune, Ariunaa, and Hashbayar will be able to continue the training we commenced over the past year in<br />- teaching research,<br />- languages for internationalisation,<br />- CV clinics, and<br />- internet based tools (flickr, blogging, google earth, wikipedia)<br />apploied to architectural and construction education.<br /><br />Teachers Bolormaa and Tsengel-Oyun assisted in training with Suvdmaa (English teacher) and Bolortsetseg (Architect teacher) from the Technical and Technology College (TTC) in comparatively mapping degree curricula respectively of MCTC and TTC. This will develop ownership of architecture degree curricula in Ulaanbaatar which will need major reworking in the coming years. The latter college has recently applied to work with VSO. I would strongly encourage these people to continue to work together on professional development, and in future to extend their knowledge to develop the Mongolian Association of Architects.<br /><br />New teachers have been recruited to MCTC and these will need guidance and encouragement in their professional development from the above trained teachers. I recommend the staff continue to work with Rob van Waardenburg VSO and that new consultants or volunteers will continue the professional development work for which the college and teachers should have ownership and be proud.<br /><br />The college has been building a new five storey classroom building in the 21st district, with students labouring as practical trainees. The directors and architects agreed in January - among other suggested design and safety improvements - to make the basement and first (ground) levels wheelchair/barrow accessible by ramps. Access to construction and architectural education will not only be physically improved in this case, but also a process has begun for more participative and inclusive building design and college management.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-1063416678600607172008-08-26T13:23:00.007+00:002008-09-27T05:13:27.103+00:00Tsambagarav<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3074/2802092036_57aa320df5.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3074/2802092036_57aa320df5.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a>As a reward for enduring a year in Ulaanbaatar, we made a trip to see <a href="http://www.photoblog.com/henri05/2008/08/15/tsambagarav-mongolie.html">Tsambagarav</a> in Mongolia's Altai mountains in the remote west. Flying in to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan-%C3%96lgii_Province">Khovd</a> over the mountains, I read Sunand Prasad's piece about the UIA (International Union of Architects) and remembered that my Mongolian colleagues (Dagshigdorj et al of the Mongolian Association of Architects) visiting UIA Turin had declined an invitation to attend a RIBA reception in my stead - at a beautiful 16th century Palazzo there. Thinking of their reluctance reminded me of my work, my final report in progress and exit interview on the 27th.<br /><br />After driving by jeep past the impressive snow-capped Tsambagarav (4400m) to stay in a Khazak Mongolian family Ger, I noticed the family's work programme. Six hours of each day - 5am-8am and 5pm-8pm - spent milking thirty yaks for about 100 litres of milk, from which they make various cheeses, curds and yogurt. Yak wool/hair and crafts supplement the income from the milk products. I enjoyed the evening meal "five fingers" of dried and boiled yak meat mixed with pasta sheets just made by a ten year old girl. Delicious yoghurt followed. By the light of a single solar powered lamp in the Ger, I flicked through the letters of RIBA Journal, reading Iain Borden defend the Bartlett, then a review of "Instant Cities".<br /><br />After giving the farmer host and his saddle a lift to a valley where he thought he might find his horse, we travelled north and stayed a night with another Khazak family in a Ger by a river near <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altants%C3%B6gts">Altantsogs</a> village, where thirty goats were milked once a day to produce 18 litres. While I was relaxing in the ger, a farmer slaughtered a goat outside the door and then unexpectedly brought it in to hang in our ger for butchering. A slightly threatening old man - a drunken Khazak relative - argued with me in Mongolian that Australia had been part of Germany. (In vain I painstakingly distinguished Austria from Australia)<br /><br />Staying in Olgii town centre's 'Green Garden' Ger Park with its delightful gardens provided an opportunity to unwind. It was the farthest point from UB. Reconvening in our ger with two German <a href="http://www.bambi-on-tour.eu/">trans-Mongolia cyclists</a> we had earlier seen climbing Tsambagarav, two <a href="http://www.xtarafa.cat">Spanish cyclists</a> (<a href="http://www.ahoraonunca.org/documental_mongolia/documental_mongolia.php">project</a>) from the Turkish restaurant and a backpacking English kindy teacher from UB joined in for a little spontaneous party.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-23751021073839642642008-08-19T05:48:00.009+00:002008-08-26T13:22:36.635+00:00Slow Travel<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/2780360082_c4465c7189.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/2780360082_c4465c7189.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a>After arriving by train from London to Ulaanbaatar a year to the day before starting this blog entry, I was reflecting on slow travel, slow food, slow development and slow tourism in Mongolia. After the exhausting return from Arkhangai 'Art Camp' on a jolting 11 hour bus ride from Tsetserleg, it was a joy to take the night train to Erdenet, shortening the bus trip to Lake Hovsgol. Our cabin mate Gankhuyag turned out to be a (hearing) Mongolian Sign Language teacher. After wandering around Erdenet (10km from the station), we waited four hours for the bus to Mөrөn at the market and took the 15 hour journey. Somewhere by a roadside, as we took a 'comfort stop' in the green mountains by a river, a man on a bicycle held a fish aloft by his ger. I walked over and he showed me his catch of large trout and smaller fish, cleaned and silky to touch. Hours passed in the darkness until we (25 passengers and driver) stopped for 'Tsiuvan' (noodles) at a 'Guanz' eatery with one solar powered bulb. Everyone dozed on the bus rocking through the night, the fat brown farmer next to me leaning on me and nodding off to sleep.<br /><br />After dawn in Mөrөn, we had a shower at a Batgaal's Ger guesthouse "5-8-7" and lay down for a couple of hours. Later we shared a car with two French tourists, mother and daughter, to Khatgal at the edge of Lake Khatgal. We borrowed bicycles from some local lads. Looking for air for a tyre at the local petrol station, it being a hand-pump affair, the proprietor (of 25 years) took me to her ger nearby, and her husband improvised a way of inflating the tyre.<br /><br />In the past year I have gained a lot of experience of slowness. Speaking Mongolian has been a slow but rewarding process, but in the countryside slowness is emphasised: seeing the simple and slow way food is often hand-reared and prepared, seeing each joint of boiled mutton apportioned among a party, feeling every bump and creek crossing on the roads, boiling each cup of river water for tea. The hot shower at "5-8-7" was operated by the guest house owner, who boils a pot of water over a fire, then pours it into a tank on the roof of the shower house, mixing it to the right temperature.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-60205609037860347242008-08-12T09:14:00.005+00:002008-08-13T09:01:53.876+00:00XanaduArt Camp with "Blue Sun"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/2748338691_6a94447005.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/2748338691_6a94447005.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a>I arrived as requested at dawn at the '<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadologist/2746734116/in/set-72157602065059941/">Art Studio</a>' in an apparently abandoned building in the industrial west of UB. No one stirred until 7am. Then, while waiting until after 9am for our departure, three of us made a foray to the abandoned Khotsh Bank nearby, and charmed the guard, as he awoke, and gave us a secret tour of this intriguing building, with gallery and sports hall.<br /><br />The details of the Arkhangai tour became clearer as two Russian ''<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadologist/2746738218/in/set-72157602065059941/">Пургон</a>" jeeps with drivers appeared and fifteen of us set off toward Khar Khorin in Ovorkhangai. An itinerary was produced, then verbally modified. After camping by the river in Khar Khorin and visiting Erdene Zuu monastery, we drove to Suvragakhairkhain, Chandmanikhairkhain, and the beautiful <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2749186002_9ab23b3d4d_s.jpg">Tovkhon Monastery</a>. Before camping by a river, a sheep was procured from a family and prepared. I drew, most others painted, sketched, sang and smoked.<br /><br />Gradually, over three days, we progressed from eating the blood filled intestines and "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadologist/2748339357/in/set-72157602065059941/">Гийдэс</a>" of the sheep to various other boiled, smoked, and barbecued parts of the sheep, culminating around the campfire one evening, as leader, Mashbat, presented each person by name with a selected named joint of meat. I somehow followed in Mongolian.<br /><br />After we reached <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadologist/2752101387/in/set-72157602065059941/">Tsetserleg</a>, the province centre, I spent a day alone drawing the monastery and other buildings there, and the next morning, began the 11 hour bus ride over dirt racks pitching and jolting my way back to UB.nomadologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03514272254037627854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27638722.post-60811190758312023282008-08-01T09:30:00.006+00:002008-08-01T09:53:57.185+00:00Going Bush<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://perceptionandutopia.net/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://pinktwins.com/disk/mongo/kerava-poster.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This coming week I will join a group of Mongolian Artists from the Blue Sun group, and my two previously mentioned visiting collegues, on an 'Art Camp' in Arkhangai.<br /><br />Машбат, Далх-Очир, Бат-Зориг, Бат-Холбоо Од-Гэрэл, Ганбаатар, Энхболд, Бадраал, Орхон, Авид, Өсөх Баяр, Анхцэцэг and Магнай with Ana and Annu, will be my travelling companions in two Russian Пургон jeeps over 2200km.<br /><br />After a long discussion about food and accommodation today, the financial arrangements seem clearer.

Support and develop the skills of teachers in the college;</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(Коллэжийн Багш нарын ур чадвар, арга барилыг дээшлүүлэх сургалт, сэминаруудыг зохион явуулах) see Mongolian below.</span><br /><br />Working with staff at the college, Rob van Waardenburg VSO construction adviser and teacher trainer had prepared the college very effectively before my arrival. Working in coordination with Rob, my aim of supporting the teachers' development was continually pursued through the year, including during most of the summer recess, and some progress was achieved. I worked within and also beyond the MCTC; I collaborated with and assisted MUST, State Construction College ("4-zam"), Darkhan Orgoo, Darkhan Vocational Training Centre, and the Technical and Technology College (UB), and advised the Construction Ministry on Human Resource Development in construction.<br /><br />The strongest participants in my work with MCTC were G. Ariunaa, D. Bolormaa, Tsengel-Oyun (Tsenguune), new teachers Gursed and Lkhagva, and co-director / counterpart Hashbayar. Prof. Dagshigdorj, a senior teacher and member of the architecture profession who initally showed interest in working together with me later had very limited time and interest, and teachers Densmaa and Enkhtungalag found limited time for developing their professional skills. Seminars and informal training sessions for staff were held in December, January, February, March, April and also July, with attendances between one and twenty people.<br /><br />For example, training was held for teachers in using the Internet as a research tool for finding teaching materials e.g. in the English language. Some techniques discussed were taken up by Tormandakh, Enkhbold and Enkhzaya (Venturi VVH text analysis) Training was continued with English teachers, developing teaching materials for English teaching. English teachers Enkhzaya, Enkhbold und Boloorma successfully facilitated the staff training with my support on Fri 7 December. Enkhzaya developed her skills quickly and in February gained a better paid job at the state construction college.<span style="background: red none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"></span><br /><br />In early June I arranged a joint training seminar on course structures between our college and the Technical and Technology College architecture teachers. This was useful in mapping the courses and analysing the subject teaching components streams and continuity, opening the possibility for architecture teachers to gain an overview of the curriculum and undertake curriculum development.<br /><br />From January to August a 'live project' approach was adopted, to run three real ('live') architectural design projects with a multi-disciplinary group of staff in a team;<br />i. World Vision Bayankhoshuu,<br />ii. Eco Houses in Selbe Khadat, Sanzai (Sukhbaatar District) and<br />iii. Conference Hotel Childrens Resort in Yarmag (Bogd Uul)<br />These projects were a good way to support and develop skills of teachers and construction professionals, and to train train new architecture teachers ursed and Lkhagva. Although the first project was initially well organised, the consultant Myagmarsuren's work was not used effectively and the partner NGO unable to continue.<br /><br />The latter two projects, for private developers, were pursued with a delicate balance between a traditional 'pattern book' approach to drafting service and a more participatory and investigative approach to professionally developing the work teams, by exploring up to date site analysis and design generation methodologies, which take into account environmental awareness, universal accessibility, and client options and feedback cycles. In these projects, Ariunaa, Bolormaa and Tsenguune helped train newly qualified architecture graduates Gursed and Lkagva as team leaders, with students Delger-Dalai, Tumen-Od, Uyanga and Tumen-Gerel. Hashbayar assisted the live project financially and logistically. All participants learned a great deal about process in architectural design, and improved energy efficiency / ecological sustainability, accessibility, effective site analysis and architectural programming were all broached.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Teach architecture to architecture students - especially Diploma students completing in 2008.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(Архитэкторч мэргэжлээр суралцаж буй оюуутнуудад архитэкторын хичээл заах)</span><br /><br />The architecture three year bachelor course curriculum was analysed early in the placement and it was discovered that the structure, similar to all such courses in Mongolia, is primarily technical and lacking in cultural design and synthetic- design studio- live project approaches typical of international undergraduuate building design and 'Part 1' courses.<br /><br />Within the limitations of the technically oriented curriculum, assessment means were discussed and it was agreed examination and attendance might be complemented with more assignments, workshops, excursions etc as assessable knowledge indicators. Participatory teaching methods were felt lacking in the college, and a series of workshops on these were held with Tsenguune and Bolormaa, who I recommend should help to train the 25 newly recruited teachers due to commence in September.<br /><br />The architecture final year diploma students I supervised gained some benefit, although their attendance and committment levels were erratic and insufficient. Diploma students Nerentsetseg, Oranbileg & Khanburged all failed to attend agreed lesson appointments and I helped others, particularly Gursed and Lkhagva and their studio colleagues. The local 'canon' of teaching materials (eg Neufert Architects Data, Russian Edition 1965) was identified in November as requiring revision and updating, however experienced staff (Prof Dagshidorj, who advised on Bat Od. 2005 rev 2007) expressed reluctance to review the canonisation of this textbook. The use of the Mongolian accessibility norm MN 31.101.04 and Construction Ministry expertise (Mongolian Energy Efficient and Accessible Pattern School - with GTZ) were resisted or ignored by staff. Relevant new literature (Bat Od. 2005 rev 2007, Ching 2006, internet based resources etc. - some in Mongolian, some in English and German) were introduced, and dynamic young staff showed interest in developing material based on K. Do et al 2006, as well as local senior Mongolian students' work, and the College's own live projects. Two graduates, Lkhagva and Gursed began training as architect - teachers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Cooperate on development of the architecture and construction professions in Mongolia -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(Тус сургуулийн хамтран ажиллагч байгуулаг түүншүүдэд зөвлөгөө өгөх )</span><br /><br />After initially working with Professor Dagshigdorj, establishing a context from his senior architect perspective, I also met some other professionals (Amgalan Sukhbaatar, Munkhzhul Choiljiljav, Purev-Erdene Ershuu) and gained an appreciation of the outlook of newer practitioners of architecture in Mongolia. In November I met with a representative board member of the Mongolian Association/Union of Architects, Purev-Erdene Ershuu, lecturer and architect, at the Centre for Architecture and Design Research. This Centre had been in involved in a conference called <strong class="mn_title"></strong><a href="http://baugeschichte.tuwien.ac.at/zf/mongol/index.htm">The Current Situation of Ger Area in Ulaanbaatar City</a> in 2007 which suggests some research activity and international collaboration on Urban and architectural development in Mongolia. However the Mongolian Association/Union of Architects, or architectural association of Mongolia, would not cooperate with Prof Dagshigdorj's idea of holding a meeting, nor was it able to provide any information about the need to develop the association. Colleagues in the fields of Contemporary Art, International Development, Disability Rights, Health, and Non-Government Organisations Sectors concurred that there was difficulty contacting or working with any Mongolian Association/Union of Architects, or association of Mongolian architects. I offered to provide international introductions and to support developing means of extracurricular professional development for Mongolian architects Prof Dagshigdorj, E. Purev-Erdene, N. Tormandakh and others.<br /><br />In the recent UIA (International Union of Architects) meeting apparently to be attended by Dagshigdorj and others from Mongolia, my invitation arrange a meeting with RIBA delegates at a reception there was declined. RIBA also recently became more closely involved in the UIA system of international validation of architectural education.<br /><br />As I advised the Mongoian Construction Ministry in December, I would encourage the Mongolian Architects Association to build its profile for professional development for Mongolian professionals, and to internationalise to serve the advancement of the profession in Mongolia.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Encourage teachers and students to learn English as a tool for professional development -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(С Д М багш оюуутнуудын англи хэлий мэдлэгийг дээшлүүлэхэд дэшжиж ажиллах)</span><br /><br />Teachers and colleagues with whom I worked regularly benefited, including many national volunteers attending the English Speakers' Club, informally established with English Teacher volunteer Ruth Powell at the University of Humanities and my building neighbours' children, whom I taught English lessons voluntarily over twenty weeks.<br /><br />The college administrators, directors and many teachers exclusively using Mongolian did not find time or interest to make use of the encouragement in English language usage. One first year (female) student called Lkhagva attended an English Walk and Talk in November at Chinggis Khuree with volunteers from the University of Humanities, and encouraged others to come to some lessons at the college. She also presented the walk and explained her motivation to learn English to teaching staff and college vice-director Hashbayar. I would like to see this kind of activity encouraged in the college, as the previous online and book-based Staff English training has been ineffective. Although senior staff Prof. Dagshigdorj and his assistant architect Enkhtungalag, like the college directors, do not show interest in using spoken English, many staff such as G. Ariunaa, D. Bolormaa, Tsengel-Oyun have developed advanced skills in spoken English, and there is potential for new teachers Gursed and Lkhagva, and college co-director / counterpart Hashbayar.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conclusion; Small, Significant Change</span><br /><br />Following some consulting with the Construction Ministry, World Vision and the Gender Centre for Sustainable Development in the 8th Khoroo, where counterparts did not benefit from participation, the live architectural projects (Sanzai and Yarmag) provided the most concrete exercise in the placement in terms of training architect teachers. This work will potentially have a long term impact with the existing teachers - Bolormaa, Tsenguune, Ariunaa, Hashbayar - and new teachers, Lhagva and Gursed (and in future maybe Delger-Dalai and Tumen Od?) The former learned about Accessible and Energy-Efficient construction, about Project Management principles like time planning, about Site Analysis and Architectural Project <a href="http://www.architecture.com/NewsAndPress/News/RIBANews/Press/2008/RIBALaunchesNewJobBookAndPlanOfWork.aspx">Planning</a>, and how to organise client meetings and briefings, and how to research and write architectural programme briefs for projects.<br /><br />I strongly encourage the teachers Bolormaa, Tsenguune, Ariunaa, and Hashbayar to continue the training we commenced over the past year in<br />- teaching research,<br />- languages for internationalisation,<br />- CV clinics, and<br />- internet based tools (powerpoint, flickr, blogging, google earth,wikipedia)<br />for architectural education.<br />Bolormaa and Tsenguune assisted in training Suvdmaa (English teacher) and Bolortsetseg (Architect Teacher) from the Technical and Technology College (TTC) in comparatively mapping degree curricula respectively of MCTC and TTC. The latter college has recently applied to work with VSO. I would strongly encourage these people to continue to work together on professional development and in future extend their skill sharing to the Mongolian Association of Architects.<br /><br />I understand that about twenty new teachers have been recruited to MCTC and these will need guidance and encouragement in their professional development from the above trained teachers. I hope that the staff will continue to work with Rob van Waardenburg VSO and that new consultants or volunteers will continue the professional development work for which the college and teachers should have ownership and be proud.<br /><br />The college, with labour of students as practical trainees, has been building a new classroom block. The directors and architects agreed in January - among other design improvements - to make the basement and first (ground) level wheelchair/barrow accessible. This approach to widening access to construction and architectural education is literal as well as setting the tone for more participative and inclusive college management.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); font-weight: bold;">Mongolian version<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); font-weight: bold;">translation by courtesy of Ch.
