day 2: Quick thinking before public presentation to all the other BDS classes and teachers

So a few minutes after we came into class we were told that we had to finish up our revisions of our presentation of our situation (wayfinding problem/ solution) so we gathered our notes, sketches and thought of how we were going to present our situation while others were taking their turns.

It turned out pretty good actually and I was really proud of my team's work and our great idea (finding the Donald Judd art piece in the Spencer Art Museum situation). Richard really liked it and other teachers seemed to liked it too and gave ius positive feedback which was really moral-lifting, after all the confusion we've been going through.
Our classmates also told us they especially liked the simple sketches we presented while explaining our situation, so it was definitely something positive.

So after that we had to go back to the classroom and listen to some details concerning the readings on blackboard that had to be done by next class and also discovered that we lost one of our group members, which is sad, but oh well, we were doing just fine by ourselves already so hopefully it won't be a problem ;)

Our homework was to really go and find people to experience the situation we had, so we'll have to pick some students (friends maybe) and make them figure their way to the Donald Judd art piece in The Spencer Museum of Art.

Project 1: I. Human(People)-Centered Design

The first day of BDS 102 (01/25/2011) was introduction day, to the class, between students, about the new course and the project we had to start on. It was interesting as a new project and seemed very challenging and after the lectures things weren't really very clear or precise about exactly how we should proceed in order to successfully complete this project but we'll have to figure that out by ourselves, in each team that we've been put in.

My team members were : Amy, Sarah, and Jerry. 

First we started listing all of the possible situations that we could find oursleves in need of the wayfinding technique, then we shared a few as a group and chose among them and made up some new ones on a large piece of paper to lay down our ideas, and to be able to see everything we had in mind clearly in fornt of us, so we can decide which idea to choose and use for to do the project.

I think we came up with a lot of pretty good ideas, now we still have to agree on one of them to start working with. 

From that sort of mind map that we did, we had to think about the different steps of the 2 or 1 wayfinding options that we'll have to represent later on.
