Intervening in an Arrangement
- Go somewhere where people interact ie: grocery check out, post office, the front desk at the library. Map out the Arrangements that you see. (It could also be a social interaction, like a date or a job interview).
- Make a sketch of the place, and create a “user flow diagram” of the interaction within the space. Notice the sounds, sights and movements that and choices that take place within the space.
- Imagine an intervention in one of the “arrangements” in the space. How could you creatively enhance, alter, augment, intervene in these interactions.
- Write a 1-paragraph narrative description of a person’s experience of the place. Think of it as a story, for example: This morning, “So-and-so got up and decided to take a different subway route…”
