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..), what is the data used and how do you collect it (analog, sensor...), are you using a metaphor (biomimicry...), how would you like to fabricate it? (technology used, materials used...)
