Week Five - Session Two

Class began with a lecture down in The Pit, which ran for about an hour. After this, we went back up into the classroom, and began undergoing some rapid ideation sessions. 

Initially we began trying to come up with as many ideas as we could around our brief. We then went onto doing 'random input', where we would select some words and try to come up with an idea revolving around this word, or a word that could branch off from the written word.

We then moved on to 20 ideas in 20 minutes, which was extremely interesting. It was quite difficult coming up with so many random ideas so quickly, although was definitely a quick way to come up with a whole bunch of different ideas, and then narrow it down to which ones could work and be most effective.

By Tuesday, we need to choose our three best ideas and refine them so that we can present them to small groups in class. 

At the end of class, we went to another Exchange session. Today's one was super cool to see how everyone's projects had come along since our last session back in week 2. I really liked finding out how each different discipline approached the brief of well-being. It was interesting to find out that Spatial Design were approaching it slightly differently, by designing a space initially, and then the second part of the brief being to alter the design in order to accommodate for the well-being of a particular audience.
