OBJECTIFY_UR_RSRCH How to bridge research and design thinking? How can different objects disrupt the creative process, and encourage unexpected solutions and synthesis? What objects can allow you to explore your design subject from as many different angles as possible?

Throughout the workshop, students are invited to create their own objects to facilitate their creative process. The object is considered a means to an end rather than an end in itself. Throughout the workshop students develop ‘critical objects’ unique to the creative and research needs of an architect and urbanist. Students participate in a series of individual and collective exercises that guide their thinking and making process, during which they formulate a research question, develop an idea for an object that would assist them in the process of design and strategy making, create that object, and demonstrate how it answers the original research question.
