Project Definition • How to Break Boundaries • Between students • Between academics and society • Between stages of design • To create an environment that fosters • Collaboration • Education • Innovation
Personas • Jack Richardson,25EECS Grad Student in collaborative work and part of Berkeley Institute of Design • Brian Wu, 20 3rd year EE student, with little work in creative design, taking a design class, IEOR 170 • Alexei Papadapolous, 21 4th year ISF major on psychology in ethnic studies who needs to design his own psychology experiments and interviews for his thesis • Jenni Wright, 45 Professor of design at UC Berkeley in department of Architecture who needs a place to teach students where they can interact in teams, actively work on projects as well as hear guest lectures and participate in class discussions.
Constraints • Facilities of the building • 3 areas on the ground floor • 3 rooms on the basement • Structural walls • Budget of $1 Million
Goals • Mix • Nurture • Celebrate • Share • Build
‘design flux’ • Minimize the barriers to the flow of ideas, equipment, and people • To foster back-and-forth iterative design • Simplify and facilitate design process • Multidiscipline collaboration
‘design flux’ • We accomplish flux with: • linked LCD monitors in every room • glass walls • perforated floors • mobile workstations • staircase and lift connecting the floors • 6 unique yet connected areas for design
Floor 1 I II III
Basement V VI IV
User Survey • Main points gained: • Cool equipment, but how to use it? • How to find people from other disciplines? • Light and colors to keep open and exciting • Arrange furniture for group work • i.e. sofas facing each other
Future Directions • Revolutionize the Berkeley Campus • Lectures/Presentations • Revolutionize Berkeley’s Curricula • Revolutionize design
