Afternoon 
(starting 13:00 unless noted otherwise)

Mo. 17.9

13:00 Overview 5th semester

Kick-off course (presentation)

Assignment Data Collection

Input 

• Overview / Methodology, case studies {jb}
• sensing and data collection{lf}

Mini exercise 01

• Analogue Data Collection 

Mini Exercise 02

• Bodystorming

Discussion in groups: From ideation to in-depth concept

• What drives the design? (example: is it function, speculation or critique)
• Where could the data come from? (example: wearable sensors)
• What metaphor could you use?
• What inspires the form making process (example: fungus, cell division, mathematical geometry,…)

{jb,md, vz}

Presentation of research directions

Answer the questions we asked in the groups discussion: 

From your design interest/wish, reflect on what drives it (function, critique, curiosity, inspiration,..)?, what is the data you will use and how do you collect it (analog, sensor…)?, how will you map it? are you using a metaphor (biomimicry…)?, how would you like to fabricate it? (technology used, materials used…)?
