Preparation phase
A preparation phase (Pre Lagos) will be organized in February and March with an evening lecture and debate series defining a contextual, theoretical and methodological framework. For background on the design practice a lunch lecture series 'Architect in Africa' is organized. In addition a multimedia course is taking place each Monday in collaboration with the Media department of the Faculty of Architecture (TU Delft) to provide participants with a toolkit for the on-site workshop (multimedia techniques will include photo, video, audio, hand drawing, gps, web applications and weblogs).

mEYEsite*Lagos
This year Urban Detectives will collaborate with the Media department, Faculty of Architecture (Bouwkunde), TU Delft to organize a Multimedia & Presentation Techniques course for students as part of the mEYEsite program and integrated with the City Space Investigations – Lagos (CSI.Lagos).
The mEYEsite*Lagos course will be available for all students participating in the CSI.Lagos. During the 'Pre Lagos' (preparation phase) the participants will gain experience and learn new skills using different media techniques, equipping them for the 'In Lagos' (on-site workshop), which acts as a case study for this course. During the 'Post Lagos' (post-production phase) the participants will be assisted by the Media department in creating a multimedia exposition with their material.
