Day 3

       Todays introduction to class was extraordinary. I had never really done anything like that in a classroom, although I have done the exercise where everyone orders themselves according to birthdate at a seminar; having a larger group was definitely the challenge we all faced in the beginning. Once the process was figured out we just had to trust our gut. (Of course the class had completed the task perfectly.) By having to do this exercise as soon as class started, was  a form of a group problem solving. Which led to the main topic of todays lecture, "Design is a collaborative profession." It is the type of thing where, a group is needed to achieve great limits of goals. The process is what makes or breaks the solution. Once a consequence is set, the goals are easier to achieve such as money, grade, life, or simply making something better.  
       My favorite part of the discussion we had in class was about the tangent on parking garages. I thought it was ridiculous how a designer can mess something up such as placing an arrow on the floor, to guide one out/in a parking garage. GIven the fact that, it is their profession to know how to problem solve.   >_<
