Week Two: Third places, public spaces, and building shared experiences

Class recap

We spent the first part of class discussing Oldenburg’s article, Our Vanishing 3rd places, then everyone presented their Quick Indie Projects.

Assignments

1. Reading – Everything Sings Intro, Denis Wood
2. Assignment – Observe and Document a Third place, present it back to the class through multiple senses. Work in groups, each student responsible for documenting a different sense. Feel free to impair a sense if it helps you focus(blindfold, earplug, big mittens). Compare your observations and create a presentation that represents the information through multiple senses. Use time, or choose another axis to plot your observations against.
3. Reading –  Double diamond design process. Read these articles and diagram out your version of the design process that you will follow with your team.
   1. Design Council
   2. Double Diamond
   3. Diagram

How to Post 

By 5pm on Monday 9/22, each group should collaboratively create two posts:

1. A collection of maps from the third place observation assignment for the Third Place Maps category

2. A group process diagram for the Design Process Diagrams category
