In the design potentials phase I explored the two potentials "Light" from the context Camera, and "IR communication" from the context television. these two context were deeply researched and explored in order to gain factual knowledge about the 2 chosen potentials.

In the next phase I explored the design aspects. I focused on the question "can light effectively communicate Space". Some experiments were conducted to explore these aspects. When conducting these experiments it was important to me to conduct these experiments using as many design disciplines as possible, these include Digital, Industrial and Interior.
The experiments conducted have come together quite well, and some knowledge was gained from each experiment conducted.

In the "concept" stage I set off to create 3 concepts that can be shown in a space or an insulation and can create some kind of experience for users. From each of the experiments conducted in the design aspects stage I came up with a corresponding concept from the knowledge gained while conducting the experiments. All 3 concepts can be traced back to one particular experiment conducted in the last phase.

While some of the concepts were clearly more successful than others. while I did have trouble at coming up with concepts that may be able to convey a positive experience for a person. But at the end I am pretty happy with the concepts. I do have 1 in mind that I would take to the next phase.

At this stage I think my process has worked to the brief of the assignments given, at this point I don't have any idea on how to change or improve it.

  • Exploring an idea from as many design disciplines as possible, testing if the knowledge is eligible and factual.
