Week 3 Site Visit

We still conducted research during this week where the group split up and viewed different aspects of our site. This research was then placed onto formal maps so that our group could understand them better.

Week 2 Site Visit

For week 2 site visits we conducted many research exercises. Gathering as much information as possible in the little time we had. to do this we had to split up into two groups.

Week 1 Site Visit

Our first group site visit was quite interesting. Our eyes were wide open and were emotional unprepared to see humans living in such sad conditions.

on some of the site visits we focused on the construction of certain informal housing

From the site visits we realized that the people of Denver have a great ability in using what is available to them for construction of their houses, spaza's and tavins.

Week 2 Tasks for AT Studio

In the beginning of week two all groups were tasked to develop a pucha kuchs. Which entails groups to provide 20 power point sides timed at 20 seconds each. The topics of discussion were: ethics, collaboration and participate design.

By the end of the development of the pucha kucha, our group had a great understanding of how this project should be tackled. it also guides our group into the right direction in terms of how the community will help design.

Week 1 Task For AT Studio

Week one we were tasked to develop an A0 poster which would define certain words in a creative manner. Firstly the group had a debate on these words what they mean in general and what these words could mean for our collaborative design process.

We tasked ourselfs to express our meanings of the words visually by closing our eyes and drawings. This gave each group member a different perspective on each word. These drawings were then combined and placed in there respective word collection. This opened another discussion amusing the group members.

With even more visual we discussed how each word interlinks, and the in an informal community where working together is an only means of getting things done. We realized that one word cannot and should not exist without the others.

 Our product was a Creative mind map which categorized the words into much more deeper meanings. and that there was a top-down system that arises from the process.
