For two weeks in September 2009 more than sixty art, design, and architecture students, practitioners and academics will work on a live design brief in an intensive two-week studio at Donghua University, Shanghai. e-SCAPE is a partnership between Professor Richard Goodwin’s Porosity Studio, and The Collabor8 Project (C8), in collaboration with Donghua University (Shanghai) and COFA (Sydney).
2009年9月，来自各地的60多个艺术系、设计系和建筑系的学生，专家和学者将在上海东华大学进行为期两个星期的强化型工作室项目。参与者将在现场接受项目简介。数码城市项目由理查古德文教授的都市空隙工作室和设计吧（C8）合作，东华大学（上海）和新南威尔士大学美术学院（悉尼）共同举办
The Porosity Studio was established by Professor Richard Goodwin in 1996 and has operated successfully since this time. It provides a potential component of a student’s major study in final years from a range of disciplines: Fine Art, Design, Media Studies, Architecture, Urban Design and Engineering. Multi-disciplinary practice is explored and students are able to test their individual practices at the scale of architecture and the city. The studio builds on the practice and research of Goodwin who is both artist and architect. The relationship between the city and public space remain key concerns for the studio – hence the name Porosity which speaks to the need for architecture to be Porous in relation to public space.
The studios have been held in Beijing at The Central Academy of Fine Art and Tsinghua University, Rotterdam at The Willem De Kooning Institute, Den Haag at Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten, and Milan at the Milan Politecnico.
In 2007, the British Council selected the Porosity studio as exemplary in its field and is now sponsoring students from around the world to participate in a series of 3 Porosity studios within the United Kingdom. To date these have included Edinburgh at the Edinburgh University, and Cardiff at Cardiff University and Glamorgan University.
In 2010 the final of this trilogy will be held in London in conjunction with The Bartlett School of Architecture, The Slade art school and Westminster University. These studios offer fully paid placements to the best students within a competitive framework.
古德文教授在1996年成立都市孔隙工作室，成功运作至今。它为美术、设计、媒体研究、建筑、城市设计和工程学生在毕业阶段提供了一个潜在的研究课题。都市孔隙工作室研究开展跨学科的实践。学生可以在建筑和城市结构的平台上测试个人的专业技能。古德文教授既是艺术家又是建筑师。艺术与建筑的有机结合是该工作室的实践基石。工作室主要关注城市建筑和公共空间的关系 —— 取名都市孔隙工作室，意为建筑和公共空间需要多重空间渗透连通关系。
都市孔隙工作室已分别在北京的中央美术学院、清华大学、鹿特丹的威廉德库宁学院、海牙的荷兰皇家艺术学院和米兰的米兰理工学院多次成功开展合作项目。2007年，英国文化委员会选定“都市孔隙工作室”为该领域的典范，资助三次在英国举行的都市孔隙工作室项目，为世界各地的学生在英国从事该项目的学习提供奖学金。迄今为止，该项目在英国的合作大学已包括爱丁堡大学，卡迪夫大学和格拉摩根大学。
在2010年，由英国文化委员会资助的第三届都市空间渗透工作室项目将在伦敦的三个学校举行：巴特利特建筑学院、罗尼斯莱德艺术学院和威斯敏斯特大学。工作室将挑选最优秀的学生，并为他们提供全额资助。
Collabor8 (C8) is an online initiative formed by Ian McArthur to establish a basis for online collaboration between art and design students and practitioners at universities in Australia and Shanghai. Through research the intent of C8 has expanded to encompass multidisciplinary collaborative online practice with particular focus in the area of cross-cultural (east/west) communications. In this year's project it is intended that students will work together in collaborations that span urban, cultural and virtual territories.
C8 typically consists of online lectures, briefs, discussion forums and galleries allowing design students to conceptualise individually and in groups, discuss and compare their ideas and display design concepts and solutions. The students collaborate in cross-cultural teams with the objective of finding new ways of working together online. Through respect of each other’s cultural background and meeting the challenges of working in different geographic locations to create solutions to a brief C8 emulates in an intensive mode real world practices in the global creative industries.
The online components of this project are supported by The Omnium™ Research Group who provide software development and technical support using Omnium™ Software.
设计吧（C8）项目是在伊恩麦克阿瑟倡议下成立的一个网络教育项目：协助澳大利亚和中国的艺术设计学生和专家在网上进行合作。C8项目自开展以来，研究内容不断深入、扩大，现已包括跨学科的合作，重点关注网络对跨文化（东方/西方）交流的影响。2009年的C8项目研究的重点是跨城市、跨文化、跨“真实”和虚拟城市版图的课题。
C8项目通常包括一段网络版项目介绍。学生通过论坛和网络展厅，参加集体讨论，比较设计方法，展示设计理念和解决方案。学生通过加入跨文化的团队讨论，体会不同的网络合作方式。 C8模拟现实世界中全球创意产业密集型的工作模式，学生面临的挑战是：在不同文化层面上，与不同地域城市的伙伴共同设计出解决方案。
上海2009年都市孔隙工作室项目得到Omnium研究组帮助，所有网上界面都由其开发的Omnium软件支持。
