What are you valuing when you are in public space?

• most important is the greenery and the plants growing there. I not so much a fan of a city made of stone and tarmac. I enjoy different surface materials like gravel, grass, wood. I also consider important the distribution of the area, I enjoy more smaller and fragmented places than big squares.
• Openness,cosy and warm feeling trough form colours or people, greenery.
• Many people to watch. To buy some food and drinks and to lunch in the sun.
• Tranquil nature, where you can sit down and enjoy. To drink and eat something. and if the place is a bit crowded but not to much. There should be something to look at.(especially something what changes)
• Colours, Things were you can look at what changes. Water, green place with birds singing.
• Sit possibilities. Orientated at the sun. Nice route. Close to facilities. accessibility with public transport.
• Look to other people, enjoying the weather.
• Social atmosphere. Everyone can enjoy the feeling of freedom.

Example of a public space which you enjoy? What in particular do you like at that place?

• I enjoy more southern Europe piazzas. A perfect image of them is shown in the James Bond movies... I think that monument has should be part of public space.
• Mekelpark of the TU Campus, Because of its openness and the greenery space, in some way surprising through its paths and different heights of it the park.
• Vondelparc in Amsterdam. or along the canals, to watch passing people.
• The view on the 'Oost-poort' in Delft. Nice view over the water and beautiful historical buildings.
• Around the Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam. The grandeur if it is nice.
• Bastiaansplein Zuidpoort, all facilities on walk distance. The central market in delft, big central square what is a opportunity for organised activities.
• Wilhelmina Park. That is a nice park with some water, bridges, a nice looking lawn and big trees. Of course it doesn't come to the real forest but for a city it is nice.
• Garden, playground. Everyone can enter the space without any fetter. I do not like the so called “public space”, such as shopping mall where baggers are not allowed to get into.

What would be the spatial qualities why you would take a longer path.

• when I am with a bike I am sometimes taking longer path to have a more interesting ride. I value going uphill and downhill, also having interesting turns. When I am walking then I would take a longer path if I can go through nature or some very beautiful place.
• a calming environment to clear op you mind when you are stressed. A place where you can buy sandwiches 'to go'.
• For alternation, or to buy food and drinks.
• In the summer, and to buy some drinks and food.
• To see other interesting creative people, places where things happen.
• Pavement, what is comfortable to ride with you bike. Safety for in the evenings.
• A curved road, which has some sideways which are all different. I'd check all of them out.
• Of course, the physical factors are very important, such as temperature, moisture and so on. While the atmosphere of participators are really important, such as the people’s attitudes and mood.

Are you interested in an interactive space, which could be influenced by your presence? In which why?

• Interesting, it would definitely fit to the profile of the technical university.
• Interesting, But the way you can influence it is more important than that you influence it.
• Interesting, Innovative idea. On the other hand the calmness and anonymity is gone.
• Yes interesting, (example of place station in Holland where you can influence the colors of the lights. Delft Science center, some interactive things what have to deal with Science.
• Yes nice (example of interactive projection on the floor in a casino; you can influence the projection by walking on it.
• No, in a public place it is just for relaxing.Not for an interaction with the place.

Do you like to see the reaction in real time? Or is it better later when you will be there another time?

• I would like to see the reaction little later. It is important to see the result, but when it is a little later you can rethink your relationship to the process. The replaying of the data shouldn't be later that couple of minutes.
• Seeing yourself real-time is more interesting rather to see it later. Maybe both is also an option.
• Real-time is the most interesting way to display, and if the displaying becomes more personal it should be.
• Want to see in what are you influencing with your presence.
• Nice to see it real-time but not particularly needed. If you are displayed later on it shouldn't be to personal
• In real time it would be nice, I suppose.

If you are seeing yourself from a display in a public space do you like it? Why?

• I feel totally comfortable with that. Although people with psychological complexes might not like that.
• It feels a bit uncomfortable. infringement of privacy.
• Yes, it can be bring back memories.
• Yes, in that way you can also see other people back. If you are part of a bigger thing with other people it's nice.
• If you go to a public place you be there for relaxing and not to stand out of the crowd.
• I probably won't mind, but I guess most people don't like it to see any video (or audio!) recordings of themselves.
• No, I don’t that feeling. Everybody should enjoy themselves and not be disturbed

Do you have an example of being displayed in a public place?

• An art project in Tel Aviv. Whit a real-time projection of on the screen. At the same time you was drew by the computer on that screen.
• Security camera. Like to see yourself real time back.
• An art project called: 'de wereld van witter de with' in Rotterdam in 2010. It was a screen with projected of what the camera makes photos and videos. and that was assembled in one projection. So you looked in de past and the present at the same time.

Are you also going to some public spaces without a particular program? when and why?

• Yes, to have some lunch. In its particular during summer.
• depends on the people who are in the public place.
• Yes, If you have something to look at.
• Yes to have some lunch. But should be cosy in some way.
• Not always, depends on your intention of the visit, and on the environment.
• To relax and for the sociability
• If the weather is nice or to meet with other people.

What kind of program do you like to add in a public place?

• Cafe, whit also launch and study opportunities. Culture program, exhibition space. And if it is for students through students
• Places for networking. You can also just be there without networking.
• Nice cafe for all students.
• Sport activities

what do you think about the connection between the city and the campus. What kind of program would create the link and what are you missing at the campus right now?

• Connection is not too good. a common area for all of the students from different faculties. The cultural centre in the end part of the campus doesn't fulfil that function. There could be a student cinema or a student club. A restaurant could also support these functions. This could be also a gate to the university, a place from where to get an overview of the things researched in the campus.
• Lunch place what it not created by Sodexo.
• Shop with particular student items
• A nice club for partying during the night
