Inhabit 2: Notes

Comments from tutors: Think about in your design: Relationship with other parts f the building; how it relates to the glass wall and the roof above... does it go up or down to the upper/lower level? Will it provide a way for people to move between the floors, or let them communicate with (each) other(s)?
With the idea of deformation, will other people, eg. business students, who aren't 'related' to design understand that it isn't something new that you've created, but rather a materail of the existing that you've deformed? Really get into the details; if it's the glass you're deforming, pay attention ot the material of the glass - how it's joined, the rubber silicon used... so you can compare it to the original existing fabric to know it's changed... etc. Eg. a scrunched up piece of paper compared to a normal flat piece of paper
Even playing with visibility - can see a denser area when there are more layers of the design.. don't see anything/you see right through it if there's just that one pane...

(Judy): How many of you are dealing with education...? How does your space take on the issues... generating knowledge is what university's about. Space of creativity is also a space of learning

Even where we're locating the designs, it could be anywhere because it's in atriums etc.
Unchallenging, very safe...
Talk, trade, come away with an idea you like...

There's no right idea and very few good ideas... just generate...
