Spaces and Flows - New HEAD Talks video

We have just released a new video on CRC HEAD Talks. This video was a presentation made to the recent Spaces and Flows conference in Amsterdam, on November 23, 2013. Professor Ann Dale, Dr. Lenore Newman and Rob Newell explore what makes a place special, how people move through a space, what makes a person keep coming back again and again. The dynamic interplay of place, space, and time is examined through the video's imagery and flow.

The animation then shows that these issues of resource depletion and adapting to new environmental conditions can be addressed through cooperative solutions.
