In-class assignment—draft design brief + reflect on FNBK process

1) Upload a copy of your final FNBK entry, then reflect on the FBNK process and project: What was it like to observe one location over several weeks?  What kind of changes did you see? Did the data you record become more meaningful over time? Did you enjoy making observations? Do you have any recommendations for the FNBK process overall? Will you continue an observation project in any way? 

I have never done such observations before, so for me is really educational and interesting. By observing Union Square Park throughout the semester, the one big main change I saw is the weather change. The data that’s been recorded shows how little things changes over time which is also meaningful. I enjoyed the process overall except the last time was too cold to stay out there. I think it is good to keep doing the observation whenever I have time because it really helped me to relax and just be with nature.

Post a draft of your design brief as a graphic design poster that includes answers to the four prompts below:

STUDENT NAME:

PROJECT TITLE:

1) What is a practice/skill that you commit to enact, or an object you commit to take care of, for the next 10 years? 

2) In what ways does this practice/skill or object provide joy and functionality in your daily life?

3) How will you repair and/or make this object or process more resilient, enabling it last/be useful for at least 10 years?

4) How does this practice fulfill the Long Life Design criteria to the best of your ability?
