About this fieldnote

CDW 2026に参加した際の記録を振り返るためのノートです。Takramの山田水香が自分で見返すために作成していますが、皆さんの助けにもなればと思い共有します。フィールドワークは、自分が参加したRoute 2の内容のみ記載しています。

These fieldnotes revisit my experience at CDW 2026. I’m Suika Yamada from Takram. I originally made them for my own reference, and am sharing them in the hope that they may be useful to others too. The fieldwork notes cover only Route 2, which I joined.

録音は手元で録っていた一部のもので、完全な記録ではありません。また、AIを使ってまとめているため、各所に誤りがあります。あくまで思い出すためのノートとして使っていただければ嬉しいです。間違いに気づいたら教えていただいたり、抜けている録音データを共有していただいたりしながら、みんなで更新していくプロトタイプとして受け取っていただければと思います。

The recordings cover only some of what I was able to capture, so this is not a complete record. These notes were compiled with AI and contain errors. Please use them as an aid to remembering, and as a prototype we can keep updating together. Corrections and recordings that help fill the gaps are very welcome.

文字起こしの取得状況についてTranscript coverage

「未取得」は、文字起こしの入力がなかったという意味ではありません。チャットに入力済みでも、今回の検索で全文を回収・照合できていない場合を含みます。プロジェクト内の全チャットを冒頭から末尾まで直接確認できたわけではありません。“Not retrieved” does not mean no transcript was submitted. It also includes text already entered in a chat whose full wording could not be recovered or checked in this search. Not every project chat could be read from beginning to end.

予定のみ掲載。文字起こしの入力が存在するかどうかも未確認。Only the schedule is included. Whether transcript input exists is also unconfirmed.

取得できなかった主な理由は、過去チャットの検索で要約や抜粋のみが返ったこと、既存資料がすでに編集済みの整理文だったこと、写真やプログラムだけでは発言内容を確認できないことです。原文を推測で補ってはいません。The main limits were that chat searches returned summaries or excerpts, existing files already contained edited notes, and photographs or schedules could not establish what was said. Missing original text has not been invented.

Day 2のバス導入・Cồn Chim・昼食時・寺院/博物館は、旧HTMLに収録されていた原文を保持しています。ただし、他チャットの全入力との完全な照合は未実施です。The original text held in the previous HTML is retained for Day 2’s bus introduction, Cồn Chim, lunch, pagoda and museum. It has not been fully checked against every input in other chats.

About CDW 2026

Circular Design Week 2026は、メコンデルタのフィールドワークと、ホーチミンのNina Next SpaceでのCommonsをつなぐ5日間の探究プログラムです。テーマは「Metabolic Abundance(生々流転のアバンダンス)」。循環を素材の再利用に限らず、水・土壌・文化・生業の関係が変化し続ける営みとして考えます。

Circular Design Week 2026 is a five-day programme connecting fieldwork in the Mekong Delta with Commons at Nina Next Space in Ho Chi Minh City. Its theme, Metabolic Abundance, explores circularity through the changing relationships between water, soil, culture and livelihoods, extending beyond material reuse.

2つのルートは、上流の淡水域と下流の汽水・塩水域をたどります。Route 2はTrà Vinhを訪れ、Cồn Chimの米とエビの生業、クメールの文化、Sokfarmのココナッツ花蜜の実践に触れます。Commonsでは、経験を対話とAlluvial Archiveの制作へ持ち寄ります。

The two routes follow freshwater areas upstream and brackish-to-salt areas downstream. Route 2 visits Trà Vinh to encounter rice–shrimp livelihoods on Cồn Chim, Khmer culture and coconut nectar practices at Sokfarm. Commons brings these experiences into dialogue and the co-creation of an Alluvial Archive.

People & perspectives

RMITのメンバーに加えて、小倉ヒラク(発酵デザイナー)が探索に同行。デルタの知を伝えるコラボレーターとして、メコン川流域の文化・環境を研究するProf. Chung Hoàng Chươngと、湿地・生物多様性・気候適応に取り組むNguyễn Hữu Thiệnを招待します。

Alongside members of RMIT, fermentation designer Hiraku Ogura joins the exploration. Invited collaborators sharing knowledge of the delta are Prof. Chung Hoàng Chương, who studies the culture and environment of the Mekong River basin, and Nguyễn Hữu Thiện, whose work focuses on wetlands, biodiversity and climate adaptation.

方法論は赤間陽子、Daniel Harris、Stacy Holman Jones、Kim Ha、Edward Masui、Oliver Vodebら多くの協働によってつくられています。登壇者と各セッションの詳細は、Day 4・Day 5に掲載しています。
