Oh my goodness it was so much fun! It was lovely to be able to build things that we could actually hold in our hands and see how we can translate our collaborative energy into a different kind of "making." I think we got some great new ideas about how to shape audience experience, as well as some really cool ways to craft metaphor and represent abstract ideas.

For those who were reading our blog who weren't there:
We broke up into 5 groups and each group had to physically build a "house" but each group had different specifications and different limitations.
The group with me, Josh, Phil and Kathleen, for example had to fit 50 people into a mixed income building and we had three picture frames, some tape and some glue sticks.
It was frustrating but interesting when I looked to another table and there was a group who were allowed to weld and use screw guns to build a huge "designer home" made for only two people.
It helped me realize how difficult this planning really is. I couldn't do anything about the rules and the limitations - even if I wanted to make a great mixed-income housing unit. I'm curious how often developers feel that way.
