description

Take a map of Amsterdam and slect a particular route. Make a presentation that offers information about a number of locations on that route. The choice of locations is free.

The information given must be relevant from some chose perspective. For example, looking at the buldings on the route you may take an historic perspective (and skectch the development in time) or an architectural perspective (and analyse and compare various styles of building). Alternatively, you may take a cultural perspective, and show fragments of the ife and working of living or dead artists.

The presentation must be entertaining, not to say compelling. The user/viewer must be ableto enjoy the presentation without being obliged to make any choice or giving directives.
