F r i n g e Population

  Artists

  (and Drinking)

L e s s o n Learnt

• We know Lecturers details
• We dont Members of the other ateliers
• We discuss Whether to have standard methodology
  for this rapid prototype design
• We havent Tools/Techniques that help
  facilitating the process and overcoming the
  barriers
• What is important? Atelier work
• And also Atelier leader
• You should Apply for it next year
• You shouldnt Expect to have a vacation
• My opinion Summer School is more focus on
  specific issues and give you insights and
  understanding through first hand practice in the
  real setting. However, time limitation and lack
  of support tool affect the quality of the design
  and hence the final output doesnt seem to
  achieve the original aims of this project.
• In retrospect How to design to communicate
