Pursue your research and the development of your ideas in the directions suggested in Monday’s class. You should complete at least one post. For those of you who are falling behind, remember that the blog is worth 35% of the final mark.
Questions to ask yourself:
What kind of future does your design suggest?/What kind of future do you want to allude to in your design?
What limitations/parameters are you putting in place? For example, you may decide that you are going to work on a highly speculative design, which means that you may be limited in the amount of technical detail that you can provide. Or you may want to look at only one possibility, or application, of a much broader concept. You need to make sure that you clearly understand the scope of your design and the decisions you have made about its limitations so you can explain this in the final presentation
What further research needs to me done before I can coherently present my ideas for this project? (This will happen in Week 
Important notes:
While I have said that the project may be highly speculative, I still expect that it will at least be grounded in specific cases of existing research, or present day examples. What becomes speculative is how this research may be developed and applied in the future.
For those of you who are struggling: Blog about dead ends and failures. Ask yourself why these have occurred. This should help you to narrow your interests and to think about how these parts of the process might be fed into the final project.
For those of you who don’t already know it, Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto has some great pointers for when you are struggling through a difficult moment in the design process.
