This project was geared at
teaching us more about teams, collaboration and
understanding design students’ working habits.
From the beginning we set out to achieve one
objective:
"...to gain a better understanding of how
design students perform work activities,
organize their work spaces, both personal
and academic (studio space, for example),
and execute projects based on their group’s
design process."
With this in mind, our goal was to research the
question, “how does a team of design students
organize a project.” Design 786 with Liz Sanders
provided us a framework to work in and gave us
the tools to put together an investigation based
on our question and objective.
After establishing these goals in a preliminary
presentation, our plan was to first prepare a
workbook including a brief questionnaire and
two simple MakeTools and utilize The Ohio State
University’s Department of Design students as
our participants. From there we would interview
and observe a subsequent and smaller group
that completed a workbook followed by a
Velcro MakeTool session with a handful of this
subsequent group.
Below are some excerpts from the full documentation, which is available at
