GlobalEd
Editing suite of the Trading Places Network

In an online forum dubbed 'Globaled', Loose Maneuvers, a 90 page collection of the Trading Places Network, travelling conferences and projects, was conceived. Loose Maneuvers was envisioned as the prodigal planning-student's bible, an atlas for nomadic urbanists, a knowledge-bank of direct experience.

The Loose Maneuvers publication proves the latent power for creativity and collaboration that can be harnessed in informal networks. Like an avant-garde art movement, this network of urban planning and design students was able to evolve into a boundless, spontaneous forum for collaborative learning with the aid of online communications technology. The Loose Maneuvers publication is available free to anyone, and is an invitation for your responses, critiques, participation, manifestos, plans and ideas.
