This Tuesday afternoon, our group first discussed how to organize the collective space moving forward. We talked about different ways to use the space, how to make it more interactive, and how to ensure that everyone in the group could find their own place within it. Some ideas included setting up designated areas for conversation or using dynamic displays to make the space feel more open and fluid.

After that, we reflected on last Thursday’s CAP exhibition at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The exhibition featured works from different artists, many of which explored themes of nature, ecology, and the relationship between humans and the environment. We discussed the way the works were presented, the choice of materials, and how artistic techniques were used to communicate ideas. I personally found the exhibition quite inspiring, especially in how the artists used space and materials to create immersive experiences. It made me think about whether we could apply similar approaches to our collective space—perhaps considering how the space itself could be an integral part of the experience rather than just a backdrop for displays.

Overall, this discussion made me more aware of the importance of spatial design and how art can interact with its surroundings. It wasn’t just a reflection on the exhibition but also an opportunity to consider how we can create a more meaningful and engaging collective space.
