By the beginning of week 4, On the Go had simplified the physical build of our transparent writing wall to the point it was just that – clear glass panels, mounted for writing, with markers provided to participants that could either be returned or taken home.

Day 14: Letting go of technology
By the end of our third Lab week, On the Go had envisioned and discarded a number of tech-heavy ideas for innovating our both-sides-of-the-glass design. Material lists were due, and we were already wrestling with the challenge of transporting and mounting plexiglas of any kind. Here’s the body count of rejected ideas:
Television screens
...Day 12-13: On different sides of the glass
On the Go has an idea, and we play it out with available materials. The glass ITP classroom door, dry erase markers. Brandin stands on one side of the glass, with me on the other. We begin to simultaneously write our answers to the question, “What stands between you and the world?”
Days 9-10: Connection convection
HiFi/LoFi had strong collaborative energy during the final two production days for the NYPL challenge. We’d all been eager to build more fully in our first longer challenge, and quickly sorted ourselves into varied roles. Our unusually smooth process was made possible from the goal mapping we’d done with Brett Renfer the day before.
Our exhibition design took library documents through what I almost think of ...

Week 3: Hifi/Lofi Process
After brainstorming the audience and venues on Monday, we moved on to a recap of history. One group focused on the classical civil right era, while the second group worked on recent events.
We then moved on to our first ideas, which we later structured into hifi and lofi projects.
At the end of this long process we arrived at two projects and two teams for the ...
Day 10: Hi-fi/Lo-fi Transform Their Studio Into an Almost-Museum
With the guidance of their studio leaders Brett Renfer and David Harvey the Hi-fi/Lo-fi team presented a stunning result to our “NYPL” challenge on Friday: From a “Hi-fi” digital waterfall of content visitors (aka us) can choose the items they are most interested in, ...

Day 8: Library of Chosen Treasures – Choice is Not Enough
The New York Public Library’s design challenge was our most specific yet – interior space (Gottesman Exhibition Hall), time duration (semi-permanent…may last a decade), constraint (objects need conservational care), and even narrative ...
Day 6: Toilet Seats
“Toilet seats. Slightly off in size”, Alisha says, “or in height – so that the seat is lower than you would expect”. Alisha, Guillermo and me are sitting in the Hi-fi / Lo-fi studio. Her statement is one of those that are necessary to break a too deep and too thoughtful silence when you desperately try to come up with an idea.
Our 2-day assignment is ...
