Afternoon 
(starting 13:00 unless noted otherwise)

Mini exercise 01

• Analogue Data Collection 

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, aa}

15.00 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…)

{jb, vz}

Data mapping

• Input/Demo/Exercise: What meaning do you give to the data? What  metaphors do you use for mapping?  {jb}
