proyectos

So here's the what I'm thinking:
If we redesign the CSC building interior (to the extent of moving around non-load bearing walls, and getting new stuff built), I'm imagining that the focus of this project will be in getting Career Service information to students. As an add on, we could redesign it in a cool, green way, with placards that edify the on lookers of why this place is green, and what exactly they could do to make the world a better place (recycle, bike, etc). However, to me, this seems like two projects.

One would focus on getting CS info to students: where people stand, where they go for information, where they look confused... and place things and people and kiosks accordingly. This seems to jive with the class requirements really well. Also, creating an interactive, or semi-interactive map/kiosk of the building and services could fall under this. This group's goal would be to redesign the space to aid information transfer from CS employees to the students. Data collection would include interviewing students to understand what they want from the place, and the people that work there to understand what they want to convey, as well as effective transfer of information.

The other group might be able to focus on the green aspect of the CSC building. It could include what the information displays, kiosks, and lounging areas would look like, be made of, what info they would display, and how to ...get along with the CSC info. In addition to the displays, all the interior decorations/random art pieces/basically the entire "feel" of the area would fall under this group. Similarly, the outside of the building proper, and the little sitting area in front of it could be redesigned with this same theme, and fall to this group. Their focus would be getting people to socialize, be more global minded, study outdoors, show them what they can do to help the environment. This also seems to work for this class, as we can ask people where they hang out, what they look for, study studying spots, etc...
