Weekly Consultation















Feedback from tutor
What enables your design?
Start sketching more solutions. 
Is it other more applicable places to put it? Gym? Parks? 

Reflection
I will prioritize sketching and exploring more solutions within the boundaries given from my research. The idea of an adaptable area fits well with my research and I think my product should try to enable this service to be available from 1 to 3 pm, and invisible the rest of the day. So I will have this in mind while working further with my solution.

Peer mentoring

Comments from Clark Hou, Zihan Ren

Siesta
"Use touring cars. More space than regular cars."
"Change the inside of the car to fit your needs."

Time out
"Noise from cars driving on the road over?"

"Could headphones and relaxing music be an idea?"

"Fits very well for big and really crowded cities like Beijing."

Comments from Tutor

Time out-concept
"Look at Siesta culture"

"Who looks after it?"

"Think about where it is? Is there unused spaces? When is it used."

"Could it be this area?"


Siesta-concept
"What does it need to be secure enough?"

"Other issues like rain, crime etc."

"Could it be folded away and just used some times of the day?"

"Health and social benefits."

"Make sure it's different from existing solutions."


Marketplace
"Think about the facilities: Table, chair, wifi, bag, dispenser, payment etc."

"Making the interface nice, if it's a car thing."

"Pick up."

"How can you remove the barriers you found?"

"Look more into current markeds."

"Community market."

"How the products are presented"


Reflection

I've got nice input for my concepts. I've chosen to work further with the "Siesta" / "Time out"-concept. I'll do further research on powernaps, when it's needed, where the product could be placed, how the system could work etc. I'll take walks around in the city and try to think about who would need it, in what settings and where it could be placed. I also will do some open interviews to
