Week 5

Tutorial - Interpretation

This week we had to pair in groups of 4/5 and just talk about what we've discovered so far. Tell each other the stories of our research, interviews, etc...
So Uyen and I started to tell our classmates all about our research, the fact that we wanted to concentrate our project on sustainability in architecture and design. We told them about our interesting interview with Jeremy and a little bit about the ideas we got so far for our project. (which I will write about later)
The other members of our group also shared their research about sustainability, eBooks, On-campus gardens and other ways that where used to make campuses more sustainable.

We got to write every idea down on a post it and put them into different categories. We realised all our research was kind of related. Architecture and design students, using eBooks in classes instead of copy books, and learning kids about sustainability all seemed to lead to the same conclusion : Education.




We all agreed that having a more sustainable campus should start early on in education : Teaching about sustainability would change people's perspective about saving energy. So buy combining every post it at the end of our brainstorm we came up with one sentence that seemed the best : "Sustainability starts with changing attitudes"

After this (brilliant) conclusion. We had to put random post its together and generate one idea that would come out of it. We came up with quite interesting axis of reflexion :
"How to improve sustainability through learning and education?"
"How to involve students into a more sustainable architecture on campus ?"
"How to use new technologies to change the attitudes of students regarding sustainability?"

And finally, We had to make a graph regrouping all our reflexion so far and show how we got to this conclusion. This is pretty much how I got to this final ideas in a simple bullet point graph :
