Week 7 Studio: Redesign studio II
A second redesign studio, after the mid-semester break, on the week the security and signifiers lecture lands
12 April 2027
Before the session#
Read the week 7 lecture before you arrive — the studio spends its time applying the security-versus-signifier lens to redesigns already in progress, not introducing it from scratch.
In the session#
Studio time continues, now with the trust lens from the lecture layered onto the access lens from week 5. A redesign that nails one and ignores the other is flagged early here rather than at the crit. Bring drawings or annotated photos, not just prose — the proposal brief requires them, and this is the session to find out whether yours actually show the thing.
Afterwards#
Nothing submitted. The redesign crit is next week, then the proposal is due.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- your redesign proposal specifies at least one hardware model or type by name, not just "better hardware"
- you can say whether your proposal performs security or actually provides it, and why
- your signage wording, if any, is drafted, not left as a placeholder
