1) The document discusses spatial storytelling in hybrid ecosystems, where stories emerge from interactions between autonomous agents as they perceive and follow different narrative attractors or prototypes in space.
2) An experiment had participants take photos in city spaces, tagging places with personal perspectives, and the collective narrative was distributed across locations online. Participants noticed each other's narratives through connections and tags.
3) Some swarming or collaborative actions occurred as participants were drawn to perceived story attractors and contributed to emerging shared stories, though enacting narratives with geographical places was less common than emotional interactions.

The world is being changed fundamentally by AI and we are constantly faced with newspaper headlines about its harmful effects. However, there is also the potential to both ameliorate theses harms and use the new abilities of AI to transform society for the good. Can you make the difference?
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Between Filth and Fortune- Urban Cattle Foraging Realities by Devi S Nair, An...Mansi Shah
This study examines cattle rearing in urban and rural settings, focusing on milk production and consumption. By exploring a case in Ahmedabad, it highlights the challenges and processes in dairy farming across different environments, emphasising the need for sustainable practices and the essential role of milk in daily consumption.
4. Hybrid ecosystem
• Ecosystems are dynamic, emergent and
responsive.
• Ecosystems allow diversity and heterogeneity
of members who interact.
• In ecosystems autonomous self‐direc$ng
agents adapt themselves to the ecosystem
causing self‐organiza$on, and they co‐adapt as
a result of mutual interac$on.
6. We are hybrid beings
• We may well describe ourselves as hybrid beings
extending ourselves to the world through
narra$ve ac$ons in order to mediate our
interac$ons with the world.
• Place is a temporary extension of ourselves in the
moment of our interac$on with the world.
• Place is a self‐hybridiza$on with the World as
part of eco‐cogni$ve chance‐seeking.
9. “Narra$ve ecology” experiment
• Within one month each par$cipant took
pictures in the city space, signifying places as
personal perspec$ves.
• The final story was distributed across different
soPware loca$ons, geographical and meaning‐
places.
• Each par$cipant became aware of these
emergent narra$ves through the friendfeed
connec$ons and mashed tag channels.
12. Humans as ants in hybrid ecosystem –
narra$ve swarming
• Space with dynamically embedded meanings
(eg. spoken narra$ves, movement) entails
ac$on poten$als.
• The spa$al view to storytelling focuses on the
places in conceptual space that serve as
a^ractors for community’s s$gmergic ac$on.

15. Poten$al of spa$al storytelling
• The experimental
results indicated that
enac$on with the
geographical
dimensions of
narrated places was
less frequent than
could be expected.
Places are powerful triggers
18. Interac$ons with places
• People rather interact with the emo$onal
dimensions of the places in hybrid ecosystem.
• But emo$onal dimensions cannot be mapped
yet while we interact with geographical
loca$ons.
• Interac$on in geographical loca$ons is rare
because the density of accumulated contents
is low.
