More and more, space can be considered a platform for dynamic experiences, not a just a static container. How can designers prepare to design spaces that empower a more mobile, personal and participatory experience?
These was the question I posed to the students at the beginning of our half-day workshop at the gradate school of architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. The workshop introduced students to ‘service design’ methodologies and ‘user experience’ tools and techniques as a way to consider designing an experience from the point of view of the user, rather then a form or a space from the point of view of the designer.
