In Picture 54 what I see is a big car park with a lot of allocated car park space for each car so that each car has enough space to open there doors without hitting any other cars and making it easy for them to get out of there car instead of trying to squeeze out of there cars because there’s only so much space for them to do so.
Observing from “Picture 132” it looks like people are sitting there to themselves and reading there newspaper and books while drinking there tea. From the picture it looks like the people are sitting spaced out from each other, trying to get there alone and personal time.
The way I would change the design is by getting rid of the extra space and install seats with something to lean on also an object like a small flip out table where they can put the drinks and food. In the extra space I might install some vending machines which will provide drinks like coke, coffee, tea or snacks like chocolate. And maybe I would put in a news stand where people could get newspapers and magazines. Also I would make sure there some bins available around that area for the people to dispose there rubbish, with this it would keep the area clean and tidy for the people and the environment.
From these new improvements there could be down sides for example the news and magazine because observing from the picture you can see the people want the peace and quiet so having a stand like that could cause a lot of noise therefore instead of having a stand I would change it to an electronic machine which provides these facilities.
Another problem I picked up from these new improvements is the seating arrangements instead of installing single seating area, I would change it to either to have three to four seating or a bench and then space them out so that allows people who want to associate with other people they can and it gives the people to have a choice if they do or do not want to associate with other people.
Jane Fulton Suri
Explain how she and her team at IDEO use images to inform design, and discuss one example that she gives.
The way Jane Fulton Suri and her team at IDEO use images to inform design is by:
-Highlighting needs and problems worth solving.
-Freeing us from existing paradigms, through a focus on action.
-Reveling what is intuitive, helping us design appropriate cues.
-Tuning us in to cultural patterns and meanings.
-Uncovering emotional experience.
-Harnessing tacit knowledge to inform the design process.
-Inspiring more flexible and enduring solutions.
One example June Fulton Suri gave was:
“Uncovering emotional experience”, which is basically a observation of naturalistic behavior help design team to sense and response to people’s subjective emotional experience.
The example she gives for this was a “stroller”, and how a stroller cuts the communication between the parents and baby, therefore the stroller could be improved by making higher seat for better interaction with the child and parent. And this idea came through recognition of the emotional experience of the parents and children, observed from their behavior.
