Response ideation

In response to our user needs we think that having a casual, flexible and open space on campus where students can go to be creative away from their Uni work would help benefit students wellbeing. This space would give students a place to feel relaxed, with materials and resources to be creative in a fun and playful way.

This space will allow for students from different design disciplines to connect with each other, share their knowledge, give by donating unused materials and help each other in times of stress.

We feel that creating these connections in a relaxed environment away from class and the pressures of uni work would break down the social barriers that can be present in class situations. Which will help students find new forms of creative output.

This would include casual activities like a large chalk board for doodling, Lego for building, larges sheet of paper for collaborating, as well as other smaller activities which could continually be added to and changed, such as making stickers, colouring in and building with play dough.
