The brief#
Present the Intervention and defend the choice of who it manages.
The defence is worth more than the presentation. You get twelve minutes, and the room has one question it is instructed to keep asking, which is who your intervention acts on and whether you are comfortable with that.
The defence is not against a rubric. It is against the three clauses of the thesis on the front page of this course. Be ready to say which clause your work leans on hardest, and which one it would refute if the work turned out not to function.
What you submit#
Nothing in advance. The presentation is the submission and it happens in the week 12 studio. Bring whatever you need on screen.
How it is marked#
Two criteria, and the second is the larger. A clear presentation of a defensible intervention earns you most of the first. The second is about whether you can be specific under pressure about the person your design manages, without retreating to the user.
The spec
The brief poses the problem and leaves room for a response. The spec is the fixed part: what a marker checks. Some lines can be checked mechanically; the rest call for judgement.
- twelve minutes, in class, in week 12
- the before and after, the technique, and the person it acts on
- an answer to the third question that survives the room asking twice
