let's see


so, after 3 weeks what's new? i've been looking into the current situation and i realise that things are not always clear. Numerical and statistical data are a bit confusing. The greek unhcr does not give numbers (tried to reach them but they did not reply..), the police - probably under political tendentiousness - gives extraordinary(?) numerical data and probably the truth is hidden between their lines.
Well, it's an important piece of information that the government desperately tries to act formally and comply with the EU politics, when in fact they don't give a damn about those people. 
So what is my subject about? Can I solve the migration problem in Greece? By what means? It obviously isn't a design matter. What can design provide to those people and in what scope should that be studied (a sober pragmatic one taking into account real conditions and factors or a more notional one which will integrate mythos and pathos?)
Another factor that comes to mind deals with the dyadic nature of the problem. On one hand there are all those unumbered individuals with their specific cultural background.(actually many different backgrounds). On the other hand there is a location with given characteristics (climate, energy potential, position and neighbours, inhabitants, geomorphology, history). How can these two coexist with no identity loss?
