    Notes from Midterms

    • Some notes on project framing (tbd)
    • “unstructured space for boredom”
    • exploration, non-linear
    • responding & rewarding users curiosity

    Scans / Greenhouses / Layout / Plants

    https://superspl.at/s?id=75957fbf

    Barren at first,

    then lush and green

    offer a place to rest. to let your mind wander

    Interaction / Storyboard

    from “interaction to continue the story” to “interact to create the story”

    letting people pick their own poems

    -> start with the introduction i have now

    -> each plant offers different ways of being described

    -> visitor picks the plants that speak to them

    -> end result is a poetic description of the garden they created, i the way they see it

    -> chair offers space to contemplate

    3D Assets

    • Scans from botanical garden / greenhouses / plant stores

    Feedback from Design Freeze

    “Go crazy!”

    “Focus on identity and aesthetics, not only function”

    New and bolder designs

    Fabric first

    We want to do a deeper investigation into what we can convey through textiles. Printing on textile is a long process, so if we’re gonna try it, it has to be now.

    We had some rounds of speed designing, coming up with new textile prints. We’ve decided to focus on 3 of them.

    With these designs we wanted to focus more on the message and our core question: “Who owns public space?”

    3 design directions

    ornaments, info on the topic, provocation

    Update on the bench

    Collecitng the bench for the city of Vienna

    Even the police was interested in our activity!

    Screen printing workshop

    We got a walk through of the workshop and some input on our designs by Stephanie Klaura at Textile technology in Salzgries 14.

    Next steps

    • Finish the pattern for the bench
    • Get new fabric
    • Design patterns –> print on textile
    • Make people interact with our prototypes/ get feedback
