Way finding in a new light

The start of second year studio has certainly redefined my definition of "group project." Working on a single project from an individual level to a group of nearly 60 shed light on the difficulties of working in a group. It is never easy for a handful of minds to unite on a single idea, but in the modern world this is a challenge we will often encounter. Our challenge here was to map out an assigned "way finding" experience through annotated images, which were then incorporated into a small group project. The products of each small group were then absorbed into a project involving our entire studio, thereby introducing us to the delicate balance of leadership and cooperation. Through much trial and even more error, our studio combined the models, maps, and images of our small groups to produce a life size game exploring the idea of way finding. I am not only impressed by the project we were able to produce, but too by the way in which we were able to organize people and ideas in such a large group. There was a strong effort to bring each and every idea to the table for consideration, and a universal push for cohesiveness both within our group and project.
