We used this framework developed by the Project for Public Spaces to organize our research and design because it enables us to look across experiences of use to/from and inside/outside AHG. You can learn more about it in this reading.
During the research, the wkrm team wondered…
What do students, faculty, and staff do in AHG?
Why do they do things the way they do (and why don’t they?)
What evidence exists in the environment that suggests new activities?
What does the place (and spaces) say to visitors and inhabitants?
What affordances do or don’t exist?
Where do people go now to do typical things like go to class, study, meet with classmates, hang out, prepare for class, and transition to the next activity?
What is the flow of the building like?
How is the place maintained?
