There’s one more week left before the final crit on May 7th. The whole semester has been a whirlwind, and now we’ve got to think about how we can condense our story into 10 minutes. Needless to say, I’m excited about our group’s path even though it’s meandered throughout the semester. But I don’t think that is necessarily such a bad thing. I see it as a consistent progression our group took while looking at all the angles possible. Yesterday, during our meeting with Andrew, he mentioned that this project, however finished it will be, will still be open to thought and more concepts. I really appreciate that comment because as an aspiring designer, my goal is to provoke and stimulate a dialogue between users and the things around them. I personally hope to never be responsible for something that is considered finished, because where do you go from there?
I love that our group has knocked the notion that vertical farming is an ambitious one. Ironically, our group had too many concepts to choose from; now how often does that happen within a group project?
