Abstract
This session considers a project about rapid conceptualization and realization through sketches and reference material. The conceptualization for this project originated from historical project ideas that were taught at the Bauhaus. In this project, students have one hour and one piece of A4 size paper to make something. The students can make whatever they want and are not given further direction beyond a brief introduction. Some of the hour students have is allocated by the student to decide what a story might be that they could tell around what they have. A timer is set to emphasize the significance of time and the use of time in the project. After the hour is over there is a critique session, where dialogue begins around stories the student have created about what they’ve made, thinking in terms of a way to introduce themselves and create discussion around design, as a segue into further studies and projects.
