how
an
we
expect
those
same
logics
to
reveal
inadequacies
of
the
system?

6. creative
processes
that
are
taught
formally
developed
through
practice
and
experience
They

desired
social
outcomes
Both
practices
deal
with
curating
space,
form
flow
personal
experience

7. Yet
we
can
see
obvious
differences
in
how
choreographers
and

8. “Okay,
I’m
sort
of

9. Sure!

12. The
role
of
failure
Designing
with
an
understanding
of
time
Understanding
that
design
exists
only

facilitate
movement
Participatory
approaches
Safety
The
search
for
efficiency
whilst
maintaining
the
intention
The
role
of
emotions
and
instinct
in
design
How
culture
is
represented
and
embodied

save
the
