one mere week is a rather brief moment in the flow of time. nonetheless, about two thirds of the iD3 crew connected 2000 kilometers of land between regenburg’s blue danube and the waters of rotterdam’s harbor with a bosnian bus driver, his sixty passenger bus and thousands of sensory design experiences. carly brandelius schmitt, ina turinsky, michael salberg, jakob timpe, johanna brunner and myself combined forces to coordinate the iD3 crew’s dutch design roadtrip week; this tour de force included the following points of interest:
