Grad Project Workout – Module 1 | Conceptualisation

Where does the concept come from?
Does it have to be philosophical?
How can a student maintain a grasp of the concept in spite of conflicting feedback from professors and TAs and as the project gets harder and more complex?

We will discuss these issues and more in two three hour sessions. We will talk about how to find the concept and use it to generate multiple design solutions. This will be through a set of serial operations using tools of discovering the potentials of the design in a fast manner.
