BA concept seminar structure:
...
what is the context, topic, problem?
who are the audience / participants?
who will be impacted by your design (which people/animals/plants, which locations, which systems&infrastructures, which ecologies)?
what do you want to create and how it should work?
what values and potential do you want to address / generate?
what are the other projects in this field? what gap are you filling?
The essay expands the thesis disposition with observations and conclusions drawn from the two weeks BA concept seminar.
You may use a diversity of sources and bibliography (classified by genre: book, book chapter, journal article, conference article, academic thesis, newspaper article, web article, etc).
