Reflection
What kinds of design did you find yourself practicing?
application?
interaction?
architecture?
implementation?
maintenance?

Reflection
Did you use different methods and/or different representations for each of these?
How did you choose your methods/representations?
What questions did you try to answer with these representations?

Reflection
What are the three key design concerns that you addressed?
Where lies the essence of each of the three design concerns?

Reflection
How easy was it to treat each concern in isolation of the others?
How easy was it to think of three partial designs for a given concern in isolation of the other concerns?
How “deep” did you feel you needed to design for each concern?

Reflection
How easy was it to choose the best qualities of the three partial designs for each concern, and bring them together?
per concern
for the entire design
Any tradeoffs that you needed to address as part of bringing these solutions together?
How much of the entire solution do you think you have put together now?
What is still lacking/missing?

How understandable do you think your design is?
by you?
by your team mates?
by others?

11. Design Studio I Continued
Your team will receive 9 partial designs (3 partial designs per 3 concerns) from 2 other teams (18 total partial designs)
Individually, write 6 short reviews. For each team you received designs from, for each of their 3 concerns, choose one partial solution and write a paragraph or two describing:
your confidence in its quality
elegance of the solution it embeds
usefulness of the representation chosen
overall understandability
Coordinate the partial design assignments among your team mates so that each partial design is covered by at least one person
The idea that we filter them here.
