Design Methodology

 

Our design methodology was inspired by the double-diamond approach, which consists of the following states:

Discovery: gathering data

One of our first tasks was to start researching the concept of place, as well as the technology LiDAR. We had a brief, and pretty much the ability to follow it in any way we wanted to. So we identified our opportunity and started to ideate what kind of project we wanted to work on. We did several sessions talking about where we wanted the project to go forward and decided that each team member would pitch their final idea, and we would go on from there.

Definition: Filtering our ideas

In this stage we had our ideas all together, so we decided to have a meeting where we all explained our ideas, and from there we decided to follow the one we thought had more character, using bits and pieces from the other concepts to tie it together. At this stage, we decided we wanted to do work with The New Steps and create an immersive, interactive exhibition.

Development: Building our concept

This stage is where we started the main of our design work, we planned what scenes we need to to, and what kind of sound recording we were gonna work with. As with any project some things changed during our process, so we keep iterating it, also taking into account the feedback given to us by our tutors. 

Delivery: Exhibition

For the delivery of the project, we had to make several tests, to make sure everything worked together and in an easy and well manner. We did one full sound test, where we also saw how we were gonna set up the screens. In the following tests, we decided the best layout for the exhibition, and what kind of objects we needed to complete the space. On the day of the exhibition, problems showed up, as is a normal thing that can happen with this kind of project, but we worked fast and solved them in time for the audience to enjoy of the experience.
