  1. There was a bit at the Assemble talk yesterday, where they talked about designing loosely, because buildings will be repurposed.

      I'm thinking how this applies in more than architecture-whatever you design will (hopefully!) be experienced in contexts you didn't envisage

        We went and did some Now Play This curation after that-but I know no matter how much we plan, how it turns out will surprise us (hopefully!)

          This idea, of loose design, of thinking about contexts, but ultimately accepting you can't control them, I think is in a bunch of my work.

            Or maybe it's just a sign I get easily bored, so I only want to work on stuff that can show me new stuff late into the process.

              I guess this is also about strategies for risk mitigation, and relative prioritisation of known and unknown risks.

                I mean, both of the types of design I mentioned have real problems with prototyping and testing stuff in a low cost way.
