Design Process

Understanding the Space:

To improve upon the studio space, it was important to start by understanding the space and looking at it with a critical lens. We did this individually as a part of a post assignment that we were required to complete. In the post, each of us determined areas in the studio that could be improved upon. In our exploration, most of our observations were related to organization, productivity, and entertainment. As a result, we saw that the only area that was not addressed was related to relaxation, so we decided to consider that aspect and revisit our ideas during the brainstorming session. 

Brainstorming and Conceptualization:

1. Setting Context

During this stage, we collaborated to individually determine a set of actions, processes, and contexts in the studio that are affect the usability of the space. Once we each generated our own list, we wrote them on the whiteboard in the studio so that we can visualize our ideas.
